What is the best process for testing a new dependency update?
comment:3 Changed 6 years ago by
I have to forfeit on this one, or at least delay for one eek minimum (RealLife? overflow + ill health).
BTW, it seems that some of our current patches were created only for cygwin environment : I am unable to retrieve their necessity. Could their authors mtell me if they encountered their use in a Unix (Linux) environment ?
Sorry...
comment:4 Changed 6 years ago by
It seems that only the large_address_aware
patch is cygwin-only, upstream report:
The other patches look general purpose.

- Description modified (diff)
- Summary changed from Upgrade R to 3.3.0 to Upgrade R to 3.3.1
I've got some nonmaskable RealLife? interruptions, seriously interfering with my plans. Sorry for the delay.
I updated the description to reflect the current plans.

The proposed patch seems valid on Linux : it passes ptestlong with errors in two doctests :
---------------------------------------------------------------------- sage -t --long --warn-long 109.1 src/sage/homology/simplicial_complex.py # 1 doctest failed sage -t --long --warn-long 109.1 src/sage/misc/trace.py # 1 doctest failed ----------------------------------------------------------------------
which both pass when run standalone :

I have had this kind of hiccups since about 7.2 ; reports (on sage-release, mainly) did not alarm the release maintainers ; one of them has generated a tick.
Note that the large_address_aware
has been lost : R 3.3.1 no longer has cygwin-specific sections in configure.ac or Makefile.in (and therefore nothing to patch) ; maybe the cygwin-relevant problems have been fixed upstream ?
I don't have a Windows machine to port Sage to ; I leave this problem to people better(?) equipped than me.

On the other hand, I found this in the current R Installation and Administration Manual :
C.8 Cygwin
The 32-bit version has never worked well enough to pass R’s make check, and residual support from earlier experiments was removed in R 3.3.0.
The 64-bit version is completely unsupported.
Maybe we should consider to have rather an interface to system's R and make it an optional package ?
I'll broach this subject open on sage-devel (not r-devel, as I wrote incorrectly the first time...).

From the R 3.3.0 release notes :
The previously included versions of zlib, bzip2, xz and PCRE have been removed, so suitable external (usually system) versions are required (see the ‘R Installation and Administration’ manual).
So it's either :
- add xz-tools (né lzma-utils) to the list of prerequisites for Sage (i. e. relying on system's liblzma) ;
- adding xz-tools (at least the lzma library) to sage (cluttering it with yet one more library to maintain) ;
- or relying on system's R through an interface that remains to be written...
Pick your poison...
NB : I also post this on sage-devel in the recent R thread...

On Cygwin I needed to apt-cyg install liblzma-devel
(if you have apt-cyg
, otherwise use setup as normal). Without the -devel
package it doesn't install the import library, so -llzma
doesn't work (-llzma.dll
should though).

Okay. I just checked on my (Linux) system : xz is not installed in the $(SAGE_ROOT) tree, probably because I have it installed at system level and the build script detects that somehow. (BTW : it is an *optional* package.
Therefore, what is needed is :
- ensure that xz and its development files are installed, either in the system or in the Sage package) ;
- that this is done before the R installation begins ; and
- that R installation depends on xz being somehow available.
This can be simplified, at the expense of making xz a standard package, just by ensuring that xz is installed before R compilation.
I have little idea on how to proceed, since the Sage build system is still a (large) bit obscure to me. What I need is a way to check in the Makefile that xz and its development files are available, install xz if not (can an optional package be installed before the compilation of standard packages is finished ?), and make the R compilation dependent on this target.
Any ideas ?
(BTW : Cc on the sage-devel thread for advice...)

You IMHO shouldn't change patches which haven't changed at all, that's just confusing. I wouldn't even touch patches where just the offset changed, not the context.

I updated the set of patches.
I also slightly modiifed the options passed to configure

We still need to deal with the new dependencies.

The Cygwin patches to main/Makefile.in
as well as nmath/standalone/Makefile.in
, and etc/Makeconf.in
have effects on non-Cygwin as well.
In the first two, the folder is changed unconditionally, the third may lead to overlinking on non-Cygwin.
I also don't like removing the documentation from SPKG.txt
; at the very least, the patch descriptions should get copied into the patches. Renaming them IMHO isn't necessary either.
The patches have funny permissions; while you chmoded some a-x, the new ones again have u=rwx and go=rx.
In spkg-install
, the lines with options to configure aren't consistently indented (in the diff at least => tabs vs. spaces used).

Well spotted, I did not pay attention on that part.
From what I saw there was underlinking in all cases, I don't see how Cygwin or non-Cygwin can change anything but I'll double check.
Anyway I'll only apply this two only coniditonally.

SPKG.txt

From what I remember there seemed to be a consensus on putting doc in patches themselves to modify a minimum set of files when adding/removing patches. Although each patch now has some info, I'll add more from what was removed from SPKG.txt.
The patches have funny permissions; while you chmoded some a-x, the new ones again have u=rwx and go=rx.
Windows funky choice, I'll fix it.

On top of 6.4beta6+#21622 (now necessary to build Sage on Debian), this patch passes ptestlong
with two failures :
---------------------------------------------------------------------- sage -t --long --warn-long 111.2 src/sage/homology/simplicial_complex.py # 1 doctest failed sage -t --long --warn-long 111.2 src/sage/libs/gap/assigned_names.py # 1 doctest failed ----------------------------------------------------------------------
Both of them pass standalone. This kind of failure is a known, iterative (and annoying) problem, probably pertaining to the test infrastructure rather than to your patch.
I am sorely tempted to set this to positive_review
, but I think that thios must be tested by someone testing it on Cygwin, given the changes in the R toolset on Windows.
Let me know if you think this is sufficient.

IMHO this is largely sufficient as far as Cygwin is concerned. If by any chance there are some residual side effects on Cygwin they be fixed on follow up tickets.
More of a concern is the dependency on new packages... Can we list them here and I can try to package them:
- libpcre
- libcurl
- anything else?

Okay : positive review
. BTW, I think that you are the main (first) author...
More of a concern is the dependency on new packages... Can we list them here and I can try to package them:
- libpcre
- libcurl
- anything else?
- xz-tools.
Possible strategy :
1) For now, list them as supplementary dependencies in the main README.TXT.
2) Create a set of tickets to include them in Sage. These packages shuld test for existim system functionality and, if found, do nothong (how to achieve this in a Makefile ?)
3) When those tickets are tested and positively reviewed, make them standard packages, and prerequisites for R. This pulls them off the list of prerequisites.
This way, we can buy time...
BTW : Curl and xz-tools are tools of sufficient "general" interest that we should package the whole things (i. e. binaries and docs (but maybe not test utilities ?)), not just the libraries. And add the binaries to the list of candidates for small_scripts
making them accessible systemwide.

The good news is that R compiles against an ssl-free libcurl when configure is hacked. And it seems that nothing that fails in the test suite is related to this lacking feature.
Not sure how it affects usability though.

Hah ! Most R repositories are switching to https:... addresses (this shown where trying to install a package without having defined a repository first : the graphical interface propose firs a list of repositories with https: addresses ; the only way to reach an http: repository is to click on the last item in that menu, which gives another list of http: repositories.
The move to such repositories parallels a similar move from various distros (starting with Debian...). I doubt that this will get reversed, and I think that, one way or another, Sage's R must keep the ability to use https:
This is true (with aggravation) of other uses of networking in applied statistics : access to remote databases is more and more frequent, and I do not see these uses accept insecure channels for a long time...

Minimal adjustments (package version + checksum) + fixed a couple of failing doctests due to R's change of representation of function source code.
These doctests might be usefully augmented by a doctest of a real R function. This doesn't seem to have ever been doctested. Advice ?
The resulting Sage (after merging with 7.5beta4) passes ptestlong with two transient failures (which pass with no errors when ran standalone).
The question of the new dependencies is still open (no answer to sage-devel's questions).

It won't be two reviews of the same code. Only the difference from this code and the dependencies will need to be reviewed.

This version :
- Compiles cleanly.
- passes ptestlong with :
---------------------------------------------------------------------- sage -t --long src/sage/rings/polynomial/multi_polynomial_ideal.py # 1 doctest failed sage -t --long src/sage/combinat/rigged_configurations/tensor_product_kr_tableaux_element.py # Bad exit: 2 sage -t --long src/sage/modular/arithgroup/arithgroup_generic.py # Bad exit: 2 ----------------------------------------------------------------------
The first one is a well-known difference of expression of the ideal of a multivariable polynopial, already subject of a ticket.
The last two are transient errors : these tests pass when ran standalone. Race conditions ?
- Passes its own test suite.

I dunno. Being Macless, I can't test it. That may be under governance of R's configure.
As far as I understand, one might force CC to be Sage's gcc rather than the default clang (I do not know Macs enough to know if this is mandatory or even useful to run with Sage). If so, a Mac-specific patch to spkg-install should be (relatively) trivial.

it might be problematic to use C++ libraries compiled with gcc
with anything compiled with clang
. While R itself does not need C++ for building, one can have an R extension that does, and this might lead to troubles...

Not really : these just test for the presence of the software. Downloading a real file, or the example I just cooked for PCRE, ensure that the software works as expected. Of course, I checked that these packages pass their own testsuite.
Note : I'll have to learn how to make a doctest, somewhere in the Sages's "r" documentation. Later ? Now, I'm just a bit overwhelmed (RealLife?(TM) is sometimes a bitch...).

I think that this should be a separate ticket. I have reservations about trestricting the abilities of the software it includes ; in R case, the loss of secure communications would be a big loss :
- R repositories (> 10000 packages now) migrate towards https access. I doubt that they remain http-accessible for long.
- Access to Web databases (important for many applied statisticians) often requires secure communications.
So, at the minimum, let it be a choice of the user, and not something imposed. (For similar reasons, I oppose Jeroen Demerey's position, which entails a non-functional pip : too big a loss of functionality to be imposed).
And treat it as an ussue separate fron this gofddam R upgrade, which is 11 months late...

The following works in R (run from sage -sh

Agreed. I think that running an open system which needs communication (I just don't see applied statistics without communication as very practical) without means to have *secure* communication is dangerously silly, but I also agree that there might be an use for "isolated" systems, for which communication is baggage.
But this must be an *option*, not something forced on the user by a deficient implementation.

It is an option: if you have openssl installed, you'll get https without any further action.

Jeroen,
Since 7.6.beta2 (IIRC), Sagemath depends on some SSL implementation, and we recommend OpenSSL.
BTW #20523 + #22619 passes ptestlong with the usual quirks (one transient error, one well-known, ticketed difference of expression) ; since I have OpenSSL installed systemwide, I can reach an https-accessible R repository.. Is that enough for you ? Or can you check that your patch does what you so dearly desire ?
BTW : setting the milestone at 7.6 : this upgrade is late enough.

which pops up if libintl.h

Making a symbolic link to it in SAGE_LOCAL/include

It appears that the corresponding place in the R installation ignores CFLAGS, as passing CFLAGS='-I/usr/local/include' on the command line has no effect.

Replying to dimpase:
the following is, most probably, an R bug:
[r-3.3.3.p0] making tre-match-backtrack.d from tre-match-backtrack.c [r-3.3.3.p0] regerror.c:25:10: fatal error: 'libintl.h' file not found [r-3.3.3.p0] #include <libintl.h> [r-3.3.3.p0] ^which pops up if
libintl.h
is installed in/usr/local/include/
. Making a symbolic link to it inSAGE_LOCAL/include
allows this to proceed.It appears that the corresponding place in the R installation ignores CFLAGS, as passing CFLAGS='-I/usr/local/include' on the command line has no effect.
As a matter of fact, one needs these -I/...
added to CPPFLAGS
as there is some pre-processing happening in the build here.
cc-ing the Windows/Cygwin people.
