Meta-ticket: spkg-configure: Try to use as many system packages as possible #27330

Open embray opened 5 years ago

embray commented 5 years ago

24919 implemented a mechanism for checking for checking for sagelib's direct and indirect dependencies at the time of running the main ./configure script. This was already done in an ad-hoc manner for a handful of packages (e.g. gcc, git, yasm, curl), but we wanted to be able to do the same for other packages, especially those that are common on Linux-like systems.

This has now been implemented for many other packages, or is in the process of being implemented. Those packages are listed below. However, there are many others yet to be done, and this ticket will attempt to list them in some rough order of priority.

For use of Python packages: See #29023 Meta-ticket: In a python 3 build, use system Python packages

Already done

The following packages already have spkg-configure.m4 checks that are working on most or all supported platforms:

In Progress

The following packages have in-progress tickets to provide configure-time detection on the system:

Have tickets

The following packages have tickets for their conversions, but don't have working prototypes (i.e. branches) yet:

No ticket yet

Use of system Python packages

This will be be handled by #29023. Please do not add Python packages here.

The following are exceptions (because it does not run in the same Python as sage):

Testing infrastructure

Meta infrastructure

Documentation

Unfortunately there is still not good documentation for how to implement these configure-time dependency checks.

Bug-fixing

A number of bugs/deficiencies has been uncovered in spkg-configure.m4 files and related configuration, and a number of tickets opened/closed

Nice to see so much progress on this. I'm sorry I haven't had more time to help, but I'm glad to see that the infrastructure I put in place has continued to be useful as support for more packages is added.

Should we find a better way to keep track of the distribution packages that provide what spkg-configure is looking for?

Something autogenerated from new per-package information build/pkgs/* that can keep the section in the installation manual current (src/doc/en/installation/source.rst) - last updated by Dima?

Related: https://github.com/sagemath/sage-prod/issues/28745 (environment.yml for conda).

Replying to @mkoeppe:

Should we find a better way to keep track of the distribution packages that provide what spkg-configure is looking for?

A good idea, I only don't know how exactly to implement this. E.g. on Debian one could create a package with all dependencies (in fact, basically almost the same as their Sage package)

Related: https://github.com/sagemath/sage-prod/issues/28745 (environment.yml for conda).
