On armv7hl, enabling annobin can in some cases lead to corrupt unwind
information in generated object files:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1951492
The root-cause of this is still unclear and until this is sorted out,
it is best to disable annobin on the architecture.
If the file we are trying to mangle a shebang in has
0 lines (as reported by `wc`) `read` command fails
to read the first line and the script fails silently.
Text files without newlines should not be executable as there
is no way for them to contain a shebang.
Avoid using the full path and instead rely on PATH being correctly set
up to find the executable.
This fixes byte compilation for python2.7 when doing flatpak module
builds where python2.7 can be in either /usr/bin or /app/bin, depending
on how it's compiled.
Some packages require being able to redefine the compiler variables
set to add additional base arguments that must be used everywhere.
This change makes it possible for that to work correctly.
The kernel doesn't do a complete build for all arches. And example is i686 in Fedora, where only kernel-headers is built.
kernel-srpm-macros provides %kernel_arches so that the various packages have a consistent way to check for this.
A new script brp-fix-pyc-reproducibility creates an opt-in way of how to fix
problems with the reproducibility of byte-compiled Python files. The script
uses marshalparser [0] which currently doesn't provide solutions for all issues
but can fix at least problems with reference flags. For more info see
this Bugzilla [1].
If you want to use this new feature, you need to define
`%py_reproducible_pyc_path` to specify a path you want to fix `.pyc`
files in (recursively) and build-require /usr/bin/marshalparser.
if you forget to build-require the parser. The error message is:
```
+ /usr/lib/rpm/redhat/brp-python-bytecompile '' 1 0
Bytecompiling .py files below /builddir/build/BUILDROOT/tldr-0.5-2.fc33.x86_64/usr/lib/python3.9 using /usr/bin/python3.9

error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.UUJr4v (%install)
```
A build fails if the parser is not able to parse any of the `.pyc` files.
And finally, if a build is properly configured it produces fixed `.pyc` files.
Currently, `.pyc` files in the tldr package contain a lot of unused reference flags:
```
$ dnf install -y tldr
$ marshalparser --unused /usr/lib/python3.9/site-packages/__pycache__/tldr.cpython-39.pyc

Remove %new_package dependency on %{source_name} when creating subpackages by
suffix. This way those subpackages still work even when the packager set
%{source_name} to a value and Name: to another.
Arguably, the packager is severily conflicted, and does not know what he wants
to achieve, but this case is easy enough to accomodate by tweaking the decision
tree. So let’s just make things work instead of blaming the packager.
Make SRPM handover between macros even more graceful and reliable by auto-creating
a basic SRPM header before attempting declaration of a different sub-package.
With this change things will just work as long as the default %{source_name}
%{source_summary} and %{source_description} are set by something to sensible values.
%new_package is a wrapper around Name: and %package that abstracts their quirks
from packagers and macros. Its behavior is controled by the %{source_name}
global variable:
– when %{source_name} is not set, the first call to %new_package will create a
Name: block and set %{source_name} to the %{name} of this block.
– when %{source_name} is set:
– a call to %new_package with no arguments creates:
Name: %{source_name}
– otherwise, a call to %new_package creates the corresponding:
%package…
line, unless the resulting %{name} matches %{source_name}. In that case it
creates:
Name: %{source_name}
as before.
Arguments:
– -n and %1 like %package
– -v to print the variables %new_package sets directly.
The intended use-case it to:
– simplify coordination between macros that create subpackages,
– make it easy for packagers to declare which of the macro-created packages
owns the SRPM, and
– make %{source_name} available within spec files and not just as a dnf
synthetic variable.
Unlike %{name} %{source_name} matches the SRPM name regardless of its location
within the spec file.
