Haikuporter/haikuports quarterly report

First haikuporter/haikuports quarterly report.

Trying to list up some highlights that have been done in the last three months.
This is my first attempt on writing a report, I’m not that technical in terms of coding, so don’t shoot me yet :wink:

Comments welcome.

Haikuporter:

First one from December worth mentioning.

Waddlesplash:
Added a ShellScriplet that would validate if there is both a static and shared library with the same name. haikuporter will raise an error if you run in strict mode.

Kallisti5:
Capture stderr in report, fix system-packages-dir. Previous commit added new SYSTEM_PACKAGES_BRANCH var, but didn’t make the same change to the loop script.

Kallisti5:
MongoDB reporter, Trying to make the data in haikuporter buildmaster more reasonable to be parsed with a web app.

pulkomandy:
Add a config file option to disable source packages. Most users will probably want this always enabled (it’s even very
popular to use hacks with bash aliases to do it). So it should be a config option rather than a command line one.
However, some other command line options automatically enabe it, and so it’s hard to completely remove the command line option.
So now we have both. The source package is not built if either the option or the configuration asks to disable it.

nOtoose:
updated README: Use code blocks consistently.

davidkaroly:
use relative paths in cmakeDirArgs.

waddlesplash:
RemoteBuilderSSH: Add CREATE_SOURCE_PACKAGES to generated configuration. (this fixed the buildmasters from trying to fetch the source packages not being build with the prior commit by pulkomandy (spotted by mmlr)).

waddlesplash:
ShellScriptlets: Avoid interactivity in checkedUnmount. Also, always fail builds when unmounting fails.
A sidenote from myself here, it should default to Yes, if any other key is pressed things could go wrong?

waddlesplash:
HaikuPorter: check_call not check_output for cleanupChrootScript. That way, we can see its output.

Habbie:
Make unreferenced patches an error so that the PR lint workflow will go red if this happens.

Habbie:
Respect --quiet flag in repository commands

You guys have been busy!

If I interpret the diluge on the haikuports commits mailing list correctly, much work was done to update all apps to use Python3.9 and 3.10, right? Is that move finished or is more to come?

Thank you all for your hard and important work! Even smallish ports can provide the puzzle pieces to make bigger ports possible that are more interesting to end-users. Kudos!

We’re not done with the Python moves yet :slight_smile:

Most, but no all, of that is tracked over Haikuports’s Issue #8025.

I’d say that we’re getting closer to get rid of Python 3.7, than we are of getting rid of the last Python 2.7 pieces, oof! (still, we’re working on that too, of course).

Also, reminder that the plan is to also start moving away from 3.8 in around 5/6 months time. So if there are still users of that version, please consider moving to a newer one.

At the moment going through the libraries in media-libs (for static libraries), expect some updates there (revbumps that shouldn’t matter), some (like freealut) got wrong libVersions provided in the recipe, those will be fixed and the packages depending on them will be revbumped/fixed where needed.
