[gentoo-dev] [PATCH 0/5] Fixing automagic dependencies on gtk[wayland,X],

[gentoo-dev] [PATCH 0/5] Fixing automagic dependencies on gtk[wayland,X],

[Eli Schwartz]

There is a bug in how gtk 3 and gtk 4 are built against by other
packages. GTK supports optionally enabling X and wayland support -- when
you do so, the ABI of GTK changes.

It is historically common for X11 packages to check for a macro provided
by GTK that says "built with X11 support". This goes back to the days
when X11 was the only backend shipped with GTK, and the main use of the
macro was to check whether to use X11 or rather to use, say, the win32
or Quartz (macOS) backends. The pattern has continued now that Linux has
two backends.

The result of this is that many packages really need to support their
own IUSE="X wayland" (because they can conditionally build code for
that) and also need to make sure that USE flag is actually respected.
Failure to do this means that when rebuilding GTK with different USE
flags, all applications linking to GTK need to be rebuilt too, but
portage doesn't know that.

It also means that binhosts -- such as the one officially hosted by
Gentoo -- have bad binaries that don't actually match the packages users
have installed. This is particularly bad since it breaks expectations
and is quite hard to debug. This has hit people a bunch of times when
trying to install the xfce desktop environment, in particular.


There are a couple possible solutions that have been considered, both by
me and others.

- simply demand upstream software implements configure options allowing
  automagic dependencies to be selected in src_configure. Advantage:
  every software should be doing this!!! Disadvantage: they currently do
  not and demanding they do it doesn't actually mean they are doing it.
  We can't just refuse to fix ebuilds that are broken, because it's
  upstream's job to fix it.

- bind packages tightly to whether gtk is built with wayland, via
  gtk[wayland=]. Advantage: metadata is always valid, and all builds of
  the package which have wayland symbols also depend on wayland support.
  Disadvantage: users have to toggle USE="wayland" on all packages at
  the same time, and cannot build libxfce4ui without wayland support,
  then enable wayland for gtk, without rebuilding.

- package.use.force gtk[wayland]. Advantage: nobody can rebuild gtk
  without part of its ABI, so other packages always have the symbols
  they need. Disadvantage: nobody can rebuild gtk without functionality
  they don't use.

- adopt new functionality in EAPI 9. Currently we have slot
  dependencies, which PMS carves out as a carefully scoped case where it
  performs delayed metadata lookup at the time of building a package,
  and updates RDEPEND values in place for the built package (to write
  out the exact slot value being built against). A similar trick could
  be used to expand "?" and "=" USE dependencies to also support looking
  up the value of the USE that was built against, e.g.
  RDEPEND="
      x11-libs/gtk+:3[X:?,wayland:?]
  "
  meaning that building, say, libxfce4ui on a system with gtk+[wayland]
  installed would propagate that dependency, but building it on a system
  without a wayland-enabled gtk+ would not require any specific build of
  gtk+. Advantage: packages could accurately model how they were built.
  Disadvantage: any fix that requires "wait for new EAPI to be agreed on
  and implemented" isn't a practical solution to current problems today.

- What I propose in this patchset. Hack a custom gentoo feature into the
  GTK headers. GTK normally behaves exactly as it's supposed to
  upstream, but we add the ability to pass a define via `append-cflags`
  that makes the GTK headers tell an outright lie and claim its API
  doesn't exist. Which is what we want -- we want packages to be able to
  compile *as if* GTK wasn't built with support for a given backend.
  This disables the automagic as if option 1 (implementing configure
  options) was carried out. Advantage: automatically support proper
  control of features. Disadvantage: requires patching GTK and
  then still adding workarounds for each package that needs it.

[gentoo-dev] [PATCH 1/5] gui-libs/gtk: add a "poison" macro support to disable X/wayland

[Eli Schwartz]

Many packages perform automagic dependencies on gdk's backend
implementations by checking if the macro is defined and then using the
code it unlocks, rather than having a buildsystem option such as
-Dwayland=true.

It's unfeasible to patch every such package's source code to add
configure options and respect them. Instead add a truly filthy hack and
permit gtk itself to selectively show or hide the windowing system in
use.

[gentoo-dev] [PATCH 2/5] net-libs/gtk-vnc: prevent automagically building against gtk[X,wayland]

[Eli Schwartz]

e.g. the upstream code checks whether GDK_WINDOWING_WAYLAND is defined
by the gtk headers, and if so will compile against the wayland symbols
it provides. This means that gtk-vnc built on a system with
gtk+[-wayland] will be compatible with anything, but when built on a
system with gtk+[wayland], requires that at runtime.

This cannot be expressed with USE flags.

We could bind tightly to whether gtk was built with wayland (and X), and
in the process, arbitrarily restrict gtk-vnc[-wayland] to only build and
install on a system with gtk+[-wayland].

But we recently added a hack to gtk itself which allows hiding the
automagic macros entirely. Inject this via append-cflags if the USE
flags aren't set, to simulate building on a system with more minimal gtk
packages.

[gentoo-dev] [PATCH 3/5] x11-libs/wxGTK: prevent automagically building against gtk[X,wayland]

[Eli Schwartz]

The upstream code checks whether GDK_WINDOWING_WAYLAND is defined by the
gtk headers, and if so will compile against the wayland symbols it
provides. This despite that wxGTK has a wayland USE flag, and checks it
in the build system -- just not for this.

This means that when built on a system with gtk+[-wayland]
will be compatible with anything, but when built on a system with
gtk+[wayland], requires that at runtime regardless of USE flag.

This cannot be expressed with USE flags. We could bind tightly to
whether gtk was built with wayland and arbitrarily restrict
wxGTK[-wayland] to only build and install on a system with
gtk+[-wayland].

But we recently added a hack to gtk itself which allows hiding the
automagic macros entirely. Inject this via append-cflags if the USE
flags aren't set, to simulate building on a system with more minimal gtk
packages.

[gentoo-dev] [PATCH 4/5] xfce-base/libxfce4ui: prevent automagically building against gtk[wayland]

[Eli Schwartz]

The upstream code checks whether GDK_WINDOWING_WAYLAND is defined by the
gtk headers, and if so will compile against the wayland symbols it
provides.

This means that libxfce4ui built on a system with gtk+[-wayland]
will be compatible with anything, but when built on a system with
gtk+[wayland], requires that at runtime regardless of USE flag.

This cannot be expressed with USE flags. We could bind tightly to
whether gtk was built with wayland and arbitrarily restrict
libxfce4ui[-wayland] to only build and install on a system with
gtk+[-wayland].

But we recently added a hack to gtk itself which allows hiding the
automagic macros entirely. Inject this via append-cflags if the USE
flags aren't set, to simulate building on a system with more minimal gtk
packages.

Fixed upstream in:
https://gitlab.xfce.org/xfce/libxfce4ui/-/commit/967359624e408365b4c027bab66e737063af604b
and hence only worked around for 4.18.

Bug: https://bugs.gentoo.org/624960
Closes: https://bugs.gentoo.org/873520

[gentoo-dev] [PATCH 5/5] dev-libs/libportal: prevent automagically building against gtk[X,wayland]

[Eli Schwartz]

e.g. the upstream code checks whether GDK_WINDOWING_WAYLAND is defined
by the gtk headers, and if so will compile against the wayland symbols
it provides. This means that libportal built on a system with
gtk+[-wayland] will be compatible with anything, but when built on a
system with gtk+[wayland], requires that at runtime.

This cannot be expressed with USE flags.

We could bind tightly to whether gtk was built with wayland (and X), and
in the process, arbitrarily restrict libportal[-wayland] to only build
and install on a system with gtk+[-wayland].

But we recently added a hack to gtk itself which allows hiding the
automagic macros entirely. Inject this via append-cflags if the USE
flags aren't set, to simulate building on a system with more minimal gtk
packages.

Nice trick! I like it. Good work. :)

Maybe this (and the other) should state where the bug is supposed to be 
filled, so that user's don't fill bugs at the wrong venue.

The series looks good to me, but I'd like leio to ack it before we merge
it.

It's not ideal, of course, but I think it's the best option we have and
the status quo is pretty bad.

Doesn't gtk3 need this too? Also, could we have an upstream report
making them aware of this for gtk4?

Yes, gtk3 needs this too (and patches in this series depend on it).

At https://github.com/gentoo/gentoo/pull/37259 there are 6 patches, not
5 -- I appear to have accidentally excluded the first patch when sending
it to the list, unsure how that happened. It's almost ccompletely
copy/paste from gtk4.

As far as reporting this upstream goes, I'm somewhat nervous they will
suggest you should simply build against what you use and require what
you build against. It's not a completely unreasonable suggestion, in
fact it's the one I described as option 4 and Gentoo simply cannot use
it today since it would require new EAPI.

Thanks for clarifying - I was convinced I'd seen you show me it (I
probably saw it on the branch) but I didn't think to check the PR.

I tend to agree. I see this as kind of our fault / a Gentoo-ish problem.
