Mmm, doesn't seem like a problem in random to me. Seems like
a problem with bsd.port.mk (or perhaps bsd.sites.mk?).
I just inserted the following line after line 3093 in
bsd.port.mk (mine is revision 1.511 from 2005/03/17) in
order to get the exact command that is going to be evaluated
in the next line:
${ECHO_MSG} 'DEBUG: ${SORTED_MASTER_SITES_CMD_TMP} ${_RANDOMIZE_SITES}'; \
and this is what I get on 'make fetch' for lang/gcc32:
=> gcc-core-3.2.3.tar.bz2 doesn't seem to exist in /usr/ports/distfiles/.
DEBUG: " |/usr/games/random "-w -f -""
Now, seems like an empty list is being passed through that
pipe. However, neither of the following make random hang:
echo "" | random -w -f -
echo " " | random -w -f -
What I found weird is the quoting on the command. This is
hardcoded in bsd.port.mk (lines 1892-94) But my
knowledge of Makefile syntax is not deep ;) Nonetheless, the
quotes seem to work when fetching from other ports, so I
don't think this is causing the problem here.
Now we still have these questions:
i) why the master sites list in $SORTED_MASTER_SITES_CMD_TMP
is empty?
ii) why does random hang? Is it because of the eval?
BTW, have you been able to reproduce this? Roman? Gerald?
Anyone else?
