Re: [buildd-tools-devel] new buildd dependency resolution breaks self depends?

Terpstra wrote: I hope what you're telling me is true, because it will save me a lot of work! :) What I don't understand about your explanation: once the new all+i386 .debs hit unstable, won't the buildds see the new 'all' package in unstable and thus want to install it in preference to the old 'any' package even after it is removed from the Packages file? The 'all' package will still be uninstallable since it depends on the missing 'any' packages. While I can fix the problem at hand by removing the mlton 'all' package for an upload, I see a more troublesome problem on the horizon: The basis, runtime, and compiler packages should all be at the same version to compile correctly. The basis package is an 'all' package which includes the cross-platform bits of the runtime library. The runtime and compiler are 'any' packages with compiled object code. If the Build-Depends lists 'mlton-compiler' (ie: after I resolve the current problem), any future uploads will see that it has these versions available: mlton-compiler (= old-version) depends on runtime mlton-runtime (= old-version) depends on basis mlton-basis (= new version) ... which I believe means that the old-version mlton-compiler package will be uninstallable since the old-version of the basis in unstable is hidden by the new-version. Have I understood this problem correctly? Does mlton-basis depend on mlton-runtime or mlton-compiler to build? If the answer is yes, then most likely these should not be three seperate source packages. If no, then why doesn't it just work or is the problem a previous version causing a mess? I hate circular build dependancies. :) -- Len Sorensen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

If the answer is yes, then most likely these should not be three seperate source packages. It's all one source package. I split it up the binaries because: 1) about 60% of the package could be in an 'all' package. 2) the runtime components for different architectures can be installed side-by-side... thus enabling cross-compilation. If no, then why doesn't it just work or is the problem a previous version causing a mess? According to Kurt, there is no problem. It's all in my head. :)

Oh OK, so there is no build dependancy issue at all then (since no one would be dumb enough to make a package that build depends on one of its own binaries, would they?).

You didn't read the beginning of the thread, I guess? This is a situation much like gcc, where the compiler is self-hosting. gcc avoids the (explicit) self-dependency by being in Build-Essential. -- Peter Samuelson | org-tld!p12n!peter | http://p12n.org/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
