Bug#560286: Debian Bug report logs - #560286 gattrib seg faults are back

2010-02-15 Thread Peter Clifton
Hi Bdale,

I was wondering if you could confirm whether this bug can now be closed.
Neither Ahmed or I can reproduce it, and I think I have a plausible
explanation for why the problem was occurring previously.

Best regards,

Peter C.

Bug#561906: [Pkg-electronics-devel] Bug#561906: FTBFS: make[5]: *** [tests] Error 1

 Thanks! I see now that it's trying to write logs into ~/.gEDA which won't 
 work with an unwritable/non-existent $HOME.

Perhaps we will be able to fix this upstream (for 1.6.1?).

Hamish.. is there any way we can work around the issue for the 1.6.0
build? Can we export a temporary $HOME somewhere in the build tree
whilst the tests are run?


In the long term, we should make gEDA apps fail more gracefully if they
can't open a log file. Dumping output to stderr might work.. although
it would change what is output in the case of $HOME being unwriteable -
which could in its-self break a more rigorous test-suite that checked
expected stderr output.

Fortunately for gsymcheck, the output we are testing against is stdout,
so that should be ok. I can't think of any tests which rely on known
stderr output, so perhaps we are OK here (for now).

Personally, I see this as one more argument in favour of logging in
$PWD, like we used to. (or was it $(dirname $schematic)... I can't
recall). It would still be nice if that worked on a read-only dir.

Of course.. there is other stuff gEDA looks to write / read on ~/.gEDA,
so we'll have to test those cases as well.


Best wishes,

Peter C.

 We are almost done with packaging the new version 1.6 of gattrib,
could 
 you send a sample design, and steps to reproduce the seg. fault, in 
 order to test the new release ?
 
 Thanks.
 
I'd also be interested in a stack trace of the crash on 1.4.3. It
might be due to the fact that gattrib FTBFS against newer GTK
versions. (What is your GTK version?).

Even though the package currently FTBFS, there is an old built version
on the archive. It will be relying on structure members in GTK which are
no longer updated in the same way as older GTK versions. (Yes, they
broke compatibility, even if the ABI didn't technically change.)

The FTBFS is fixed with a patch in Ubuntu. Perhaps you could try
rebuilding the Ubuntu package on your Debian machine, to see if that
helps fix the crashes.

Grab the .dsc etc... here:

Bug#549735: geda-gattrib: FTBFS: gtkitementry_2_2.c

2009-12-10 Thread Peter Clifton
In Ubuntu, we have a patch which fixes this. (A back-port of a change
from the gEDA 1.6.0 version).

You can find the Ubuntu package here:

https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/geda-gattrib/1:1.4.3-2ubuntu1


In any case, this Debian bug is likely to be closed by the impending
upload of the gEDA 1.6.0 packages.

This is just getting ludicrous.

Can we just keep to the sensible dividing line that code executing on
the computer's main CPU, _under_ the operating system (not BIOS / SMI)
should be free to whatever divined standard.

Peripheral hardware isn't designed for you to run arbitrary code on its
CPU, and the fact it requires a firmware blob uploading is merely an
implementation detail. (GPUs are borderline of course.)

Having no source-code for firmware is hardly that different to having a
completely open-source driver which does un-told magic by poking
un-documented registers in a complex chip. Think Intel graphics before
they released documentation for (some of) their chips.
