Deleting a branch is permanent. Although the deleted branch may continue to exist for a short time before it actually gets removed, it CANNOT be undone in most cases. Continue?
As mentioned by gdt in comment:381083, it would be useful for packagers if they could ask the build system to download any missing dependencies, but not to build them or install them.
This might be related to or satisfied by the "tahoe-deps" and/or SUMO tarball features, which we have sort-of working right now.
Let's use this ticket to work out what test would satisfy this feature request. gdt: how could we test this? Maybe just do a test like the one described in comment:21:/tahoe-lafs/trac/issues/27164 (the one which will go red if the code under test says "Downloading http") but we first run
python setup.py justdeps
. So then after runningpython setup.py justdeps
, then it runspython setup.py justbuild
and goes red if it says "Downloading http", then it runspython setup.py justinstall --prefix=$PREFIXDIR
(and again goes red if it says "Downloading http"), then it runs$PREFIXDIR/bin/tahoe --version-and-path
and goes red unless it prints out the right version and path.Note that the test code doesn't have a fair chance of marking the code under test red if the system already has all deps already installed. There have to be some missing deps so that the code under test might be tempted to try to download those deps when it isn't supposed to.
Sounds like we need a buildslave environment which is specifically designated to have (or lack) certain dependencies. Part of the warmup for that build will be to assert that those dependencies are (or are not) present. If we had an easy way to spin up predefined VMs as buildslaves on demand, it'd be easier to accomplish that. Using personal machines as buildslaves (or really any machine that serves other purposes), such that they may be upgraded or improved for non-tahoe-buildbot reasons, makes it challenging.
Incidentally, let's call this command "
setup.py download-deps
", orfetch-deps
.. something more meaningful than "justXYZ".In my "unsuck" branch, I'm taking the approach of embedding a list of (NAME, URL, SHA256) tuples, and it will refuse to expose a downloaded tarball which doesn't match the hash (download to tempfile, check hash, rename). I really really don't like the current setuptools behavior of downloading random things from HTTP websites and executing them.
Replying to warner:
Yes. See also #1256 (set up pbuilder for Debian/Ubuntu buildslaves), which is the Right Way to do this for Debian/Ubuntu.
That would be sweet. :-) I would still want the personal/ad-hoc/varying buildslaves for other reasons though.
Good idea! setuptools/distribute has a similar functionality (using md5 instead of sha256). Let's write a build step test which goes red if you specified a specific hash and the package you got doesn't match that hash, and you go ahead and use it!
From the packager point of view, what I want is much simpler.
I realize the above is totally in conflict with being user friendly, but hopefully this can be an option to enable for packaging systems. I don't yet understand if this is a general issue with python, or if the tahoe-world's package are somehow more automatic than normal.
I'm happy to work in ticket comments, but I think it would helpful to start a wiki page that documents the combined wisdom about goals and python behavior in various circumstances.
Replying to gdt:
It sounds like you're saying you don't want to use the
python setup.py justdeps
command that would be created as a solution to this ticket. That's fine, but you're not saying that you actively wantpython setup.py justdeps
to not exist, right? You can just not use it. So this is not the ticket you're looking for. Move along.I have no objection to "justdeps" existing. But I don't think it helps packagers in any significant way.
I think we need a 'build' command that behaves like a traditional build command: exactly the way gdt described in comment:382392 . Personally, I'd like this command to get the short name ('
make build
' or 'python setup.py build
', or 'python setup.py install
', or something), and to give a longer name to the command that also calculates missing dependencies / downloads them / builds them / maybe-installs them. The "user-friendly" do-everything-for-me instructions would point people at the longer do-everything name, and the shorter just-build command would behave as packagers expect.And yeah, a wiki page to describe our packaging goals, and what tools we already have (and would like to add) to accomplish them, would be a good thing.
I really hope we don't spend a lot of time arguing about which command gets the shorter name. :-(
But...
While the "just build" behavior is the standard behavior for unix tools and packagers like gdt for a command with a short name like "install", the "automatically resolve dependencies" behavior is the standard behavior for Python tools for the command "python setup.py install".
Or at least it was two years ago when there was a large survey about such things performed by Tarek Ziadé. Perhaps it is changing.
Now that we're on pip, the command to download the sources for all dependencies (but not compile or install them) is:
And
pip wheel tahoe-lafs
will download+compile, but not install, leaving you with a directory full of*.whl
files.The original request is more of an INVALID now, since we no longer want people to even attempt to use dependencies that are already present on their system (instead we recommend creating a new virtualenv, isolated from the system).
