Stefan Eßer 59c30220dc Tools/scripts: Add port_conflicts_check.lua Add a script to check the CONFLICTS and CONFLICTS_INSTALL parameters of ports for completeness and correctness. This script uses the "hidden" LUA interpreter in the FreeBSD base system and the pkg-provides extension of the pkg command to check for conflicting files in all packages available for the architecture and version of the base system this command is run on. It generates output in the following format: portedit merge -ie 'CONFLICTS_INSTALL=kicad-library-footprints-devel \ # share/kicad/template/fp-lib-table' \ /usr/ports/cad/kicad-library-footprints (The last line is shown wrapped for the text of this commit message.) The portedit command is provided by the port-fmt package. It takes care of placing the CONFLICTS_ENTRY into the correct position of the port's Makefile (and removes prior definitions). The files listed with each result are examples of files that are in conflict between the port and the packages in the list after ">". The main purpose of the files list is to help distinguish between conflicts that affect all flavors or versions of a port, or whether the files are placed in version specific sub-directories or use other mechanisms to allow e.g. multiple Python versions to co-exist. (In the latter case ${PYTHON_PKGNAMEPREFIX} can be used to limit the CONFLICTS_INSTALL entry to conflicting packages using the same Python interpreter version, for example, else a prefix like py*- might be required for a version independent pattern). Users of this feature are highly advised to check each Makefile by comparing it with pre-edit version before the changes are committed! There are several limitations that can cause incorrect or undesirable changes: - The list of files installed by each port is only available for the officially built packages (and the flavors selected from the set of available flavors). It does not include ports that may not be packaged or that are broken or ignored due to a dependency on a broken port (or for other reasons). As a result, there may be undected conflicts with ports for which no official package is available. - The CONFLICTS_INSTALL line is not always inserted into the correct position in the Makefile, typically due to out-of-order entries used by portedit to locate the desired position. - Complex ports may have conditional CONFLICTS_INSTALL entries, depending on port options or flavors that are in effect. It is not possible to deal with that kind of Makefiles in an automated way. - The union of all CONFLICTS and CONFLICTS_INSTALL entries is used as the list of install conflicts of a port. But only CONFLICTS_INSTALL entries are generated by this tool. Quite a lot of ports have CONFLICTS entries where CONFLICTS_INSTALL would suffice (i.e. there is no build conflict, actually), but there are ports that need to keep the conflicts listed as CONFLICTS. Such issues can be found by comparing the before and after versions of the edited Makefiles. - Conflicting ports that have been removed from the ports system will only be found as long as their official package files are still available. (There is a recommendation that conflicts with removed ports are kept for a few months.) - If all packages conflicting with a given port have been removed from the ports system and the official packages repository, the now superfluous CONFLICTS_INSTALL definition will not be detected. This is due to only Makefiles of ports being parsed that install files in the same place as some other port. Parsing all Makefiles instead would increase the run-time of this script by more than a factor of 10.		7 months ago
