Bricolage
by Steven Pritchard 17 Oct '06

17 Oct '06

Last year I worked for a while on getting Bricolage packaged. Since I may never get back to it at the rate I'm going, here's the last spec that I had: http://ftp.kspei.com/pub/steve/rpms/bricolage/bricolage.spec (That's really the spec for 1.8.6, but apparently I had started to update it for 1.9.0 at one point.) The only problem with Bricolage is it doesn't work on apache2/mod_perl2. I had a brute-force, untested port here: https://svn.bricolage.cc/bricolage/branches/dev_apache2/ Development has moved on since then (obviously), so that may not be useful at this point. Besides, upstream *really* wants a solution that makes Bricolage work on either mod_perl 1 or 2. (There were some discussions about that on the Bricolage devel list last year.) The only dependencies that don't seem to be available right now are these: perl(Apache::SizeLimit) perl(Cache::Mmap) perl(Devel::Profiler) >= 0.03 perl(HTTP::DAV) perl(MasonX::Interp::WithCallbacks) >= 1.10 perl(Net::FTPServer) perl(Net::SFTP) >= 0.08 perl(Params::CallbackRequest) >= 1.10 perl(Term::ReadPassword) perl(Test::Class) >= 0.04 perl(Test::File::Contents) perl(Text::Aspell) perl(XML::Writer) I think I've had packages for all of these (except Apache::SizeLimit, which is a apache1 thing IIRC) lingering in my queue for a year or so. I'll try to get them all submitted soon. Steve -- Steven Pritchard - K&S Pritchard Enterprises, Inc. Email: steve(a)kspei.com http://www.kspei.com/ Phone: (618)398-3000 Mobile: (618)567-7320

[Bug 191416] New: h2ph generates incorrect code for '#if defined A || defined B'

Please do not reply directly to this email. All additional comments should be made in the comments box of this bug report. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=191416 Summary: h2ph generates incorrect code for '#if defined A || defined B' Product: Fedora Core Version: devel Platform: All URL: http://rt.perl.org/rt3/Ticket/Display.html?id=39130 OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: normal Component: perl AssignedTo: jvdias(a)redhat.com ReportedBy: jvdias(a)redhat.com QAContact: dkl(a)redhat.com CC: fedora-perl-devel-list@redhat.com,prockai@redhat.com +++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #191409 +++ Description of problem: This is perlbug #39130 - see URL . For cpp statements like : #if defined A || defined B h2ph would generate the code : if(defined (defined(&A) ? &A : 0) || defined (defined(&B) ? &B : 0)) { which is tautologous, as defined(0) is always true . This turns out to cause real problems on the Linux ppc64 platform, where "endian-ness" is selectable in the compiler; every inclusion of "endian.ph", which includes "bits/endian.ph", generates an error: $ perl -e 'require "sys/socket.ph";' Both BIG_ENDIAN and LITTLE_ENDIAN defined! at /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8/ppc-linux-thread-multi/bits/endian.ph line 10. Compilation failed in require at... Because h2ph generated this code in ../bits/endian.ph: if(defined (defined(&__BIG_ENDIAN__) ? &__BIG_ENDIAN__ : 0) || defined (defined(&_BIG_ENDIAN) ? &_BIG_ENDIAN : 0)) { if(defined (defined(&__LITTLE_ENDIAN__) ? &__LITTLE_ENDIAN__ : 0) || defined (defined(&_LITTLE_ENDIAN) ? &_LITTLE_ENDIAN : 0)) { die("Both\ BIG_ENDIAN\ and\ LITTLE_ENDIAN\ defined\!"); } For the cpp code in /usr/include/bits/endian.h: #if defined __BIG_ENDIAN__ || defined _BIG_ENDIAN # if defined __LITTLE_ENDIAN__ || defined _LITTLE_ENDIAN # error Both BIG_ENDIAN and LITTLE_ENDIAN defined! ... The problem does not happen if the 'defined..' conditions are in parentheses - ie. #if defined(A) || defined(B) produces correct code: if( defined(&A) || defined(&B) ) A trivial fix for this is to simply replace the ': 0' with ': undef' in h2ph.PL line 517, as with this patch: --- perl-5.8.8/utils/h2ph.PL~ 2006-01-12 17:55:04.000000000 -0500 +++ perl-5.8.8/utils/h2ph.PL 2006-05-11 13:50:04.000000000 -0400 @@ -514,7 +514,7 @@ } } else { if ($inif && $new !~ /defined\s*\($/) { - $new .= '(defined(&' . $id .

The whole issue of h2ph and perl's platform includes needs a major revamp, which it will get once perl-5.8.8 comes out (soon, I hope). -- Additional comment from jvdias(a)redhat.com on 2006-01-31 13:07 EST -- OK, it wasn't fixed in 5.8.8. I've now raised upstream perl bug #38385 : http://rt.perl.org/rt3/Ticket/Display.html?id=38385 on this issue, which includes a patch to fix it.

This patch will be applied to subsequent perl releases for FC-4 and RHEL-4 , but this problem probably does not warrant a complete perl respin just to fix it. Meanwhile, simply run the 'patch_h2ph_pre.pl' script attached above, as root, and the system _h2ph_pre.ph (which gets included by every perl header file) will be patched to define cpp built-ins it does not already define . -- Additional comment from updates(a)fedora.redhat.com on 2006-03-13 17:12 EST -- >From User-Agent: XML-RPC perl-5.8.6-24 has been pushed for FC4, which should resolve this issue.
