Query/export file name --> port name table

probonopd commented 3 years ago

In helloSystem we would like to show clear messages in case an application cannot be launched due to missing dependencies, telling the user which package/port to install.

Is there a way to

Query the FreshPorts online database to tell which package/port contains a file with a given name, e.g., libIlmImfUtil-2_5.so.24?
For offline use, export a table of the FreshPorts database that contains two columns: 1.) the filename of each file that either ends with .so or has .so. in its name, and 2.) the name of the port this file is contained in. How large would such a table be approximately?

Debian and Ubuntu allow for similar online searches, e.g., https://packages.debian.org/search?arch=amd64&mode=filename&searchon=contents&keywords=libIlmImf; and the apt-file can do it on the local machine.

Related question, I would like to search the contents of http://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:12:amd64/release_0/All/ which unfortunately gives 403 Forbidden; and the "Branch" drop-down menu on https://www.freshports.org/search.php does not offer release_0:

Yes, but it will not get you the results you want.

Look at https://www.freshports.org/graphics/openexr/ - under pkg-plist, click on Expand this list. That is what FreshPorts has.

That might sound like its exactly what you need, but it's not. The database stores only the most recent information for the latest commit.

Thus, you can find libIlmImfUtil-2_5.so.25 but not libIlmImfUtil-2_5.so.24

For the pkg-plist contents, no, there is export like that.

The table contains about 8.5 million lines.

What is release_0? Is that merely head? If so, that is the default search on FreshPorts.

probonopd commented 3 years ago

Thanks @dlangille.

Great question. Now I feel less stupid ;-)

I don't know how exactly http://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:12:amd64/release_0 relates to what FreshPorts uses.

dlangille commented 3 years ago

I don't know what release_0 is. This is the first I've heard of it. It may not be of use to you at all.

Uses for pkg-plist contents?

FreshPorts uses make generate-plist - see https://news.freshports.org/2021/03/02/converting-a-column-based-expression-to-a-row-based-solution/

probonopd commented 3 years ago

I don't know what release_0 is.

@igalic said on IRC:

it's a branch (copy) of the quarterly repo at the time of the release as included in the DVD ISO

dlangille commented 3 years ago

Ohhh! That's nifty.

probonopd commented 3 years ago

So FreshPorts doesn't have data for it because it doesn't keep track of "the time of the release as included in the DVD ISO"?

dlangille commented 3 years ago

So FreshPorts doesn't have data for it because it doesn't keep track of "the time of the release as included in the DVD ISO"?

Correct.

FreshPorts update the information for a port when a commit occurs. It always has the latest information for the port. It shows history information in the Commit history section of the port page, but that does not extend to what pkg-plist contained at the time of that commit. Only the most recent pkg-plist information is recorded.

probonopd commented 3 years ago

Thanks for the clarification @dlangille.

So it seems like FreshPorts does not have the information I am trying to get. Say, we need to find libIlmImf-2_3.so.24.

Here would be my workaround:

Using https://www.freshports.org/search.php?stype=pkg-plist&method=match&query=libIlmImf&num=100&orderby=category&orderbyupdown=asc&search=Search&format=plaintext&branch=head determine graphics/openexr
Using http://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:12:amd64/ determine latest, quarterly, release_0, release_1, release_2,...
For each of those, downlad http://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:12:amd64/RELEASENAME/packagesite.txz and extract packagesite.yaml from there
In each of those, search shlibs_provided for libIlmImf-2_3.so.24 and if found, use repopath, e.g., All/openexr-2.3.0.txz to construct http://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:12:amd64/release_0/All/openexr-2.3.0.txz
Stop when found

Doable, but a lot of downloading just to arrive at the download URL of the package that contains libIlmImf-2_3.so.24.

Which bears the question: Wouldn't the information in those packagesite.txz be goodsomething that FreshPorts would like to learn about?

dlangille commented 3 years ago

FreshPorts uses packagesite.txz to populate the package information:

I don't think the steps outlined will get you want you want. You are still only pulling current information, not historical.

I am basing that on the mention of libIlmImfUtil-2_5.so.24 in the original post.

probonopd commented 3 years ago

Let's do this with a practical example:

https://www.cinelerra-gg.org/freebsd-package/ provides a tarball with the binary of an application. They say it is for "FreeBSD 12.1"
I would like to get the dependencies that are needed to run it. I want to load the dependencies with LD_LIBRARY_PATH or a comparable method since I don't want to mess up my system with the (older) versions of the dependencies this binary needs
On http://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:12:amd64/ there are release_0, release_1, release_2, quarterly, latest
I wrote a Python script that checks their packagesite.py
The script says it seems like release_1 can provide all required dependencies

Feel free to reopen if you think what the script is doing would roughly be interesting for FreshPorts.

Why doesn't FreeBSD's pkg system automatically install the required dependencies?

probonopd commented 3 years ago

https://www.cinelerra-gg.org/freebsd-package/ provides a tar.xz with the binary of an application., not a package that can be installed with the pkg command.

dlangille commented 3 years ago

Ahh, good, I was afraid you were needing to do this with every package.

They go to all that trouble of creating a binary and don't create a FreeBSD package. This sounds ripe for community support.
