Since we are in a release build cycle, all other issues are secondary. Kris, with his portmgr hat on, did what was needed in order to build the ports so that we can get the release out the door. Now is not the time to play 'spot the black helicopter'. > I have little idea, how the build-cluster is set up, but I need more > cooperation in finding and solving this strange problem. The build cluster is set up as a chroot environment with a pristine 'make world' installed in it, and any listed binary packages pre-installed. This is well documented. The difference between the build cluster and the reference boxes is that the packages on the reference boxes are relatively infrequently updated. Perhaps your test builds worked because they used an old pre-existing build in /usr/local. But regardless, now is not the time for finger pointing. The fact is that it was holding up the release build. It doesn't matter if it builds OK on everything from FreeBSD/vax through FreeBSD/atari2600.. It wasn't working on the build cluster, and that is the bottom line. > -mi > > On Wednesday 21 May 2003 06:39 pm, Kris Kennaway wrote: > = kris 2003/05/21 15:39:38 PDT > = > = FreeBSD ports repository > = > = Modified files: > = graphics/lcms Makefile distinfo > = Log: > = With my portmgr hat on, revert this port to 1.09 and bump PORTEPOCH. > = The port fails to pass the internal self-tests on 64-bit platforms > = running very recent 5.1 systems, but it is required to build KDE and > = therefore critical for the release. > = > = Revision Changes Path > = 1.9 +2 -1 ports/graphics/lcms/Makefile > = 1.6 +1 -1 ports/graphics/lcms/distinfo > > Cheers, -Peter -- Peter Wemm - peter@wemm.org; peter@FreeBSD.org; peter@yahoo-inc.com "All of this is for nothing if we don't go to the stars" - JMS/B5
