Setting of DEFAULT_VERSIONS of php and poudriere's ports compilation woes in my setup
Date: Sat, 02 Dec 2023 20:37:40 UTC
Hi, I am following the git repository for ports and using poudriere to compile those. Today I stumbled over: 20231125: AFFECTS: users of lang/php81 AUTHOR: bofh@FreeBSD.org The default version of PHP has been switched from 8.1 to 8.2. […] I had had the following definition for default php version in my poudriere make.conf: DEFAULT_VERSIONS+= php=81 […] Now, I *removed* 'php=81' from DEFAULT_VERSIONS and ended up with the following errors from poudriere: Warning: (local/wpm): Error: local/wpm depends on nonexistent origin 'lang/php8.2-extensions'; Please contact maintainer of the port to fix this. Warning: (mail/roundcube@php8.2): Error: Invalid FLAVOR 'php8.2' for mail/roundcube Error: Fatal errors encountered gathering ports metadata Understandable to me because all relevant ports are named as 'php82'... I do have that local port local/wpm defined as follows: […] RUN_DEPENDS+= php${PHP_DEFAULT}-extensions>0:${PORTSDIR}/lang/php${PHP_DEFAULT}-extensions RUN_DEPENDS+= roundcube-php${PHP_DEFAULT}>0:${PORTSDIR}/mail/roundcube@php${PHP_DEFAULT} […] Adding 'DEFAULT_VERSIONS+= php=82 […]' to my poudriere make.conf resolves this issue. It looks like $PHP_DEFAULT in port definition without 'DEFAULT_VERSIONS+= php=82' in make.conf translates to an erroneous 'php8.2' and runs into errors. Whereas the explicit definition of 'DEFAULT_VERSIONS+= php=82' in make.conf is resulting in a $PHP_DEFAULT translating to 'php82' which successfully compiles those ports without complaints. I really don't understand what I am doing wrong. And I would appreciate if someone could explain it to me. Thanks in advance and regards, Michael
