Bootstrapping fails on OpenMPTCProuter v0.59 (a build of OpenWRT) #130

Open sskras opened 7 months ago

sskras commented 7 months ago

To run the bootstrap I needed to fake groups and whoami executables. The related (sub-) issue: https://github.com/NetBSD/pkgsrc/issues/137

Then it failed due to missing nawk:

I don't have an OpenMPTCProuter or OpenWrt environment to test with, but searches suggest there is a BusyBox non-GNU implementation of awk included. That wouldn't get picked up with the present assumptions that some pkgsrc tooling makes. I don't know if that BusyBox version would be adequate anyway, as various others don't meet pkgsrc expectations. It's probably simplest to force use of nawk here. Please try this patch.

(Now, I'm also not sure if it's best to just handle OpenWrt and derivates, or search for a BusyBox indicator instead, etc., but this should be a starting point. According to BusyBox documentation, their grep should handle the options I applied.)

You may also find the BusyBox sed implementation is inadequate (though, from browsing the documentation, it seems it may be fine), in which case you'd also need to add another line with "need_sed=yes" as well. (Depending on when you last pulled from GitHub, you'd also need to update textproc/nbsed first, as it may not build for you without a fix I applied on the 20th.)

jwbowen commented 7 months ago

There are other busybox-based distros besides OpenWRT, e.g. Alpine Linux, so grep'ing /etc/os-release for OpenWRT seems overly specific.

I'm not immediately sure of the most portable way to check whether something is a symlink and what it points to, but I would expect that on any busybox-based system,

ls -l $( which awk )

will show something like

/usr/bin/awk -> /bin/busybox

That feels like a more general way to check for the busybox awk implementation.

sskras commented 7 months ago

@dhgutteridge commented 2 days ago:

True:

root@OpenMPTCProuter:~/debug/src/github.com/NetBSD/pkgsrc.git# command -v gawk
root@OpenMPTCProuter:~/debug/src/github.com/NetBSD/pkgsrc.git# command -v nawk
root@OpenMPTCProuter:~/debug/src/github.com/NetBSD/pkgsrc.git# command -v mawk
root@OpenMPTCProuter:~/debug/src/github.com/NetBSD/pkgsrc.git# command -v awk
/usr/bin/awk

That wouldn't get picked up with the present assumptions that some pkgsrc tooling makes.

Can you be more specific, please? I tried looking into mk/tools/tools.Linux.mk:

root@OpenMPTCProuter:~/debug/src/github.com/NetBSD/pkgsrc.git# grep -iC1 awk mk/tools/tools.Linux.mk
.  endif
.  if exists(${_path}/gawk)
TOOLS_PLATFORM.gawk?=           ${_path}/gawk
.  endif
--

# assuming grep/sed/tar/awk are usually the GNU versions, is this safe?

--

TOOLS_PLATFORM.awk?=            ${TOOLS_PLATFORM.gawk}

... but I don't understand a thing yet. :)

I don't know if that BusyBox version would be adequate anyway, as various others don't meet pkgsrc expectations.

The BusyBox version seems to be a mix of features of nawk, gawk and whatnot: https://wiki.alpinelinux.org/wiki/Awk

It's probably simplest to force use of nawk here. Please try this patch.

Thanks, but before that I would like to understand the picking algorithm. Especially:

  1. Where does the expectation that /usr/pkg/bin/nawk will be present come from?
  2. Why is AWK variable left uninitialized? (Which leads to several sh: -f: not found errors near the end)

dhgutteridge commented 7 months ago

Sorry, I think we're coming with different ideas of what was intended. My assumption was your primary interest was bootstrapping and using pkgsrc ASAP. It's probable you will encounter further issues as you go, so it could turn into a more protracted process to walk through every question that arises. The simple answer without getting into a lot of details is that "stuff will break" if bootstrapping goes awry. You may find make components behave inconsistently, as you see here (${AWK} evaluating to nothing, or to an unexpected default). This is code written by different people at different times.

Yes, some of this could be handled better; I'm not arguing otherwise. If you'd like to have a detailed technical review, that's a perfectly fine thing to request, but it's not something I can prioritize, I'm afraid.

@dhgutteridge, thanks for making things clear!

It's probable you will encounter further issues as you go, so it could turn into a more protracted process to walk through every question that arises.

I thought about progressing ASAP at first. But the delay in responses made me to consider doing an RCA. Which I think is still a good thing to do in most cases.

If you'd like to have a detailed technical review, that's a perfectly fine thing to request, but it's not something I can prioritize, I'm afraid.

Fair enough. I am willing to do the research myself, but I need some (at least initial) guidance. It's hard to notice the moment where bootstrapping starts missing something and diverges from the plan.

I'll file a new issue to walk through that in parallel. Or maybe discussing it online like on IRC would be better? I already started a talk on that with @jperkin.

Now back to testing your fix.

You haven't shared a complete log, so it's hard to know what's going on in entirety (e.g., with the other two packages that already built). This implies the individual packages have different expectations, but I haven't walked through them.

This is a different issue entirely, and one I'm pretty sure isn't specific to your platform/setup. I think it could be reproducible elsewhere. I will look into that aspect.

Now after defining CC=gcc pkgsrc gets into some circular dependency:

This could also relate to https://github.com/NetBSD/pkgsrc/issues/124.

dhgutteridge commented 6 months ago

Was the solution in #124 any help to you?

I wasn't able to reproduce this. I thought a relatively recent change might have created a condition where this could occur (on NetBSD), but it seems not. I'm familiar with situations where this pattern can occur, but I doubt they are relevant to you. (E.g., if someone confuses overriding WRKDIR when they really want WRKOBJDIR, they would get this circular dependency.)

sskras commented 6 months ago

IIRC it helped. I wanted to file a related bug about pkgsrc not indicating that hostname is missing (and trying to build coreutils instead). IMO it's fair check to do.

Is that (detection) doable – what do you think, David?

PS. Where did you try reproducing it BTW?

Detection is certainly possible. I'm not sure that's the best solution, would need understand it better. Evidently some Linux distros don't include hostname by default. Hard to support N number of Linux distros, each with their own ideas of things. (Doesn't scale well with the small number of pkgsrc developers.) "uname -n" would perhaps be a better choice (i.e. patch the problem software instead of introducing another dependency), but there may be conflicting historical reasons why that wasn't done.

In general, IMO it's not realistic to expect pkgsrc to just work out of the box on any Linux distro without installing certain things in the base system (as opposed to requiring them to build during a bootstrap). Some of this is documented in README.Linux.

PS. Where did you try reproducing it BTW?

NetBSD 9.3_STABLE, which isn't a true "bootstrap" at all (under typical usage), but will pull in that dependency chain when someone starts from scratch. Thought I'd encountered a cyclical problem there back in February, but couldn't reproduce it now.
