[gentoo-dev] libpng 1.6 upgrade and subslotting (and misuse of subslotting when there is also normal slotting)

[Samuli Suominen]

libpng 1.6 is in portage, but temporarily without KEYWORDS, pending on 
testign and this conversion, help would be much appericiated with 
converting the tree to use automatic rebuilds for the upgrade

Because there is binary-only SLOT="1.2" of libpng, none of these are 
correct:

$ grep -r 'media-libs/libpng.*:=' */*/*.ebuild
app-misc/tracker/tracker-0.14.4.ebuild:	>=media-libs/libpng-1.2:=
app-misc/tracker/tracker-0.14.5.ebuild:	>=media-libs/libpng-1.2:=
app-misc/tracker/tracker-0.16.0.ebuild:	>=media-libs/libpng-1.2:=
app-misc/tracker/tracker-9999.ebuild:	>=media-libs/libpng-1.2:=
media-gfx/digikam/digikam-3.0.0.ebuild:	media-libs/libpng:=
media-gfx/digikam/digikam-3.1.0.ebuild:	media-libs/libpng:=
media-plugins/gst-plugins-gl/gst-plugins-gl-0.10.3.ebuild: 
 >=media-libs/libpng-1.4:=
media-plugins/gst-plugins-libpng/gst-plugins-libpng-1.0.5.ebuild:RDEPEND=">=media-libs/libpng-1.4:="
media-plugins/gst-plugins-libpng/gst-plugins-libpng-1.0.6.ebuild:RDEPEND=">=media-libs/libpng-1.4:="
www-client/chromium/chromium-27.0.1453.12.ebuild:	media-libs/libpng:=
www-client/chromium/chromium-27.0.1453.3.ebuild:	media-libs/libpng:=
www-client/chromium/chromium-9999-r1.ebuild:	media-libs/libpng:=

They should all be :0= to avoid matching the :1.2 SLOT.

Plus some hundreds are completely without subslotting:

$ grep -r 'media-libs/libpng' */*/*.ebuild |grep -v ':.*='
output -> http://bpaste.net/show/89268/

Samuli

Do all packages really require rebuilding? (for start adding := for

Nearly all -- libpng15.so will disappear and libpng16.so will replace it.

I'd love to help, but I haven't done much at all with ebuild munging. If
there's a list of basic translation instructions that would work for
most ebuilds, I could certainly knock off a few.

yep, everything, because libpng doesn't come with any tools, all of the 
uses are for the library (and the headers)

Minor correction: hundreds of packages lack "slot-operator"
dependencies. Slot-operators and subslots are related, but are not the
same thing.

This would be a good opportunity to use the latest eapi in all those
packages. Would adding the :0= slot operator, and upping the eapi, warrant
a revbump tho, or can we simply do it “in place"?

Revbump -- very important in this case, as the slot-operator dep
(iirc) does not take effect to allow sub-slot-triggered until after a
version with the slot-operator has been emerged.

So we want users to re-emerge packages either at the same time
libpng-1.6 hits the tree, or beforehand so that they will be triggered
for rebuild when libpng-1.6 hits.

so we force two rebuilds instead of one ?

Well, ideally you would do it in conjunction with a version bump
rather than a revbump.

But failing that, a revbump for an EAPI + dependency change seems like
the safest option.

or: we can do the conversion in place, tell people to

I'm just not sure how the package managers like an in-place EAPI
change. If it works, great.

If you don't revbump when going from an EAPI that doesn't have subslots
to one that does, and then people start using subslot deps upon that
package, it gets pretty icky. So I would highly encourage always
revbumping at least when going to EAPI 5.

we are talking about the other way around I think: package with the
subslot is already eapi 5, package wanting the := dep is converted in
place

in that case, installed package will not have the := dep in vdb, thus
will not be rebuilt; when updating libpng, old school methods will still
work, and once that is done the := dep will do its job in the future.

I agree it'd be nice to have everything rebuilt automatically when
going from libpng 1.5 to 1.6 but I'm seeing it the other way: I don't
understand why I need to rebuild half of my system just to be able to
automatically rebuild it again later.

Either we time it so they just rebuild at the same time (ie when the
package is unmasked or stable-keyworded), or we commit the revbump
earlier which would force a superfluous rebuild.

Technically there could (in theory at least) be a way of rewriting the
vdb to have the correct sub-slot entries (i had a script that did this
during my EAPI=4-slot-abi testing) but this isn't particularily safe
and would probably cause more issues for end users than the libpng-1.6
bump WITHOUT slot-operatored rdeps.

I concurr.  Plus it was decided a couple of months back that everyone
should revbump or version bump when migrating to EAPI5 (if not all
future EAPIs).

The main issue, as I recall, with libpng system updates is that a
regular system-update-and-revdep-rebuild tends to fail because
packages need to be rebuilt during the middle of the system update.
Although this IS manageable even for green end-users with a bit of
hand-holding, ideally we want to avoid it as much as possible.


AFAICT, it's just a matter of timing the migration of rdeps we bump to
EAPI5 and slot-operator deps.  If we wanted to, we could:

1. revbump-and-p.mask ~arch packages, and the unmask them all when
libpng-1.6 is unmasked -- a common, grep'able comment in p.mask could
be used to indicate this list of package atoms.

2. ~arch-keyword a revbump of stable packages, and mass-stabilize when
libpng-1.6 goes stable.  A tracker bug would probably be best for this.

And of course, if the package has an update for other reasons in the
meantime, then they can just hit the tree as per normal and be removed
from the list(s) above.

Thoughts?

Thanks. app-admin/logstalgia and x11-wm/compiz are fixed.
