From 8aee1fd032bbfcee3ef0618f683723d119850da0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mohammad Akhlaghi Date: Tue, 22 Jan 2019 03:56:44 +0000 Subject: Using fork of metastore to work when getpwuid isn't usable After testing the built of Metastore on a server, I noticed that because its `/etc/passwd' doesn't have the list of users, the `getpwuid' call within metastore failed and wouldn't let it finish. So I looked into the code and was able to implement a solution to this problem by adding two options to it for default values for the user and group. Also, file attributes are not necessary in our (current) use case of metastore and caused crashes on our server, so they are also disabled. --- reproduce/src/make/dependencies-basic.mk | 0 reproduce/src/make/dependencies.mk | 46 +++++++++++++++++++++++--------- 2 files changed, 33 insertions(+), 13 deletions(-) mode change 100755 => 100644 reproduce/src/make/dependencies-basic.mk (limited to 'reproduce/src/make') diff --git a/reproduce/src/make/dependencies-basic.mk b/reproduce/src/make/dependencies-basic.mk old mode 100755 new mode 100644 diff --git a/reproduce/src/make/dependencies.mk b/reproduce/src/make/dependencies.mk index 128e4e5..9f3436d 100644 --- a/reproduce/src/make/dependencies.mk +++ b/reproduce/src/make/dependencies.mk @@ -138,7 +138,7 @@ $(tarballs): $(tdir)/%: elif [ $$n = libgit ]; then mergenames=0 w=https://github.com/libgit2/libgit2/archive/v$(libgit2-version).tar.gz - elif [ $$n = metastore ]; then w=http://ftp.przemoc.net/pub/software/utils/metastore + elif [ $$n = metastore ]; then w=http://akhlaghi.org/src elif [ $$n = tiff ]; then w=https://download.osgeo.org/libtiff elif [ $$n = wcslib ]; then w=ftp://ftp.atnf.csiro.au/pub/software/wcslib else @@ -359,26 +359,46 @@ $(ibdir)/git: $(tdir)/git-$(git-version).tar.xz \ $(ibdir)/metastore: $(tdir)/metastore-$(metastore-version).tar.gz \ $(ilidir)/libbsd \ $(ibdir)/git + + # The build command below will change the current directory of this + # build, so we'll fix its value here. + current_dir=$$(pwd) + # Metastore doesn't have any `./configure' script.
