Package python virtualenv for FreeBSD gives an empty txz file

[mohierf]

I am packaging a Python virtualenv for my application for Debian, RPM and FreeBSD. The deb and rpm output are correct but the freebsd output-type gives an empty txz file.

My command line is:

   fpm \
      --force \
      --verbose \
      --input-type virtualenv \
      --virtualenv-pypi https://pypi.python.org/simple \
      --output-type ${output_type} \
      --package "./bin" \
      --architecture all \
      --license AGPL \
      --version ${version} \
      --epoch ${version_epoch} \
      --name "${pkg_name}" \
      --description "${pkg_description}" \
      --url "${pkg_url}" \
      --vendor "${pkg_team}" \
      --maintainer "${pkg_team}" \
      --python-package-name-prefix "${python_prefix}" \
      --python-scripts-executable "/usr/bin/python" \
      --python-install-lib "/usr/lib/python${python_version}/dist-packages" \
      --python-install-data '/usr/local' \
      --python-install-bin '/usr/local/bin' \
      --python-dependencies \

The output of fpm (I removed the virtualenv installation...):

But the package size is 0:

-rw-r--r--  1 root    root           0 mai   21 19:58 python-alignak-1.1.0rc0-test.txz

Is the problem that fpm is not able to go from virtualenv to FreeBSD package ?

This seems to be a general problem with FreeBSD packages:

root@brokkr:~ # mkdir -p usr/bin/
root@brokkr:~ # touch usr/bin/bla
root@brokkr:~ # fpm --debug --debug-workspace -n foo -t freebsd -s dir usr/ > fpm.log
root@brokkr:~ # file foo-1.0.txz
foo-1.0.txz: empty
root@brokkr:~ # fpm --version
1.10.0
root@brokkr:~ # uname -a
FreeBSD brokkr.unwiredcouch.com 11.1-RELEASE-p10 FreeBSD 11.1-RELEASE-p10 #0: Tue May  8 05:21:56 UTC 2018     root@amd64-builder.daemonology.net:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC  amd64

Debug log is here

Let me know if anything would be helpful for debugging

Just confirmed this is fixed for me in 1.10.2/cad736e
