** Description changed: - I tried to start distcc-pump inclusion server and got the following: + [Impact] + Users can not use distcc-pump due to problems with python version + hardcoding. Subsequent “fixes” to bump the version only fail later. + + Instead of constantly hardcoding newer python versions, distcc/3.1-4.2 + includes a fix where the default version is detected in debian/rules and + passed along to the build configure as “/usr/bin/pythonN.M”. This is + intimately tied to the fix for bug #767066, which is also required for + distcc-pump mode to continue working. + + [Test Case] + + * Install distcc and distcc-pump packages: + + $ sudo apt-get install -y distcc distcc-pump + … + + * Start a local distcc server and setup environment: + + $ distccd --daemon --allow 127.0.1.1 + $ export DISTCC_HOSTS=localhost/4,cpp + + * Attempt to start distcc-pump, observe the the include_server module is + not found: + + # on precise, the command is “distcc-pump --startup” $ pump --startup __________Using distcc-pump from /usr/bin __________Using 3 distcc servers, of which only 2 support(s) pump mode /usr/bin/python: can't open file '/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.5/include_server/include_server.py': [Errno 2] No such file or directory __________Expected a socket at '/tmp/distcc-pump.I3DsMc/socket' __________Could not start distcc-pump include server - The reason is simple: since Karmic python2.6 is used as default version - and thus all the packages are built for python2.6 but not python2.5. + [Regression Potential] + + Although this will still require a rebuild when the default version + changes, it will not require any further modifications to the distcc + packaging. + + The changes to fix this and bug #767066 are small, although the fix for + the later requires to change the installed path of the python modules to + a private path. These modules were previously installed in a public + path but have never been usable to create and run custom + include_servers. It is extremely unlikely that any user was making use + of them, if someone was they will have to update their code to locate + these modules in the private path.
