package: update vdirsyncer to account for the new rust dependancy #33050

teto · 2017-12-25T13:56:52Z

Issue description

I am having some issues with vdirsyncer pimutils/vdirsyncer#691, the author asked me to test the latest version so I looked into upgrading the package but the setup.py seems to compile a rust shared library so I am not sure how to tackle that (and I don't know rust):
https://github.com/pimutils/vdirsyncer/blob/master/setup.py#L41

I believe it would be best if nix could build the rust dependancy separately but I am not sure enough to actually ask vdirsyncer author to change that just for nixos.

@matthiasbeyer @jgeerds

matthiasbeyer · 2017-12-25T14:01:39Z

I'm on it.

matthiasbeyer · 2017-12-25T14:26:58Z

Ok. This will get messy and ugly... I doubt that I will succeed in this, especially as I do not have the resources to build rustc from source right now. Maybe @jgeerds can come up with a good idea.

pbogdan · 2017-12-25T17:56:14Z

It's super hacky but at least this manages to build - https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/compare/master...pbogdan:pr_33052?expand=1 (based on the referenced PR).
I don't actually use the package myself so not quite sure how to test it doesn't fail at runtime. Also the current version of rustc from nixpkgs seems to panic a fair amount when building so the build may need to be restarted a few times before it succeeds :-(.
@teto perhaps at the very least that would let you test if the new version fixes your issue? (assuming it doesn't fail at runtime because of my hacks).

Thanks for the help boys !

I tried the patch which fails on PATH="$HOME/.cargo/bin/:$PATH" . I guess this part could be removed or replaced with $out/bin

pbogdan · 2017-12-26T13:30:40Z

Was that from my branch? I thought https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/compare/master...pbogdan:pr_33052?expand=1#diff-fa94f0db0527b004ae3809fa214083a0R40 ought to prevent that and the rust part would be built separately.

teto · 2017-12-26T14:37:14Z

Right my bad. I freaked out when I clicked on your link that proposed to create a new PR so I clicked away, and I ended up testing matthias PR :<

I tested yours which goes a bit farther. I ve tried twice with the same error. I am in sandboxed mode on ixos-unstable so that might be why ? I can try rerunning with RUST_BACKTRACE=1 if that helps. Thanks for your work.

pbogdan · 2017-12-26T17:51:08Z

Yes, unfortunately rustc seems to panic quite a lot in nondeterministic fashion :-(. I'm not sure why that is but I eventually succeeded building the package (with sandboxing enabled) after retrying a few times.
The panics happen with other packages too so I don't think it's something specific to vdirsyncer but other than retrying I don't know of any other work around.

teto · 2017-12-28T03:26:50Z

Indeed it crashes at different steps yet I could not reach the end of the build progress despite many attempts. I guess I need to pay attention for newer rust versions too.
I will try compiling several batches of fewer rust packages at at time to reduce the risk of failures, like first installing

 Compiling cfg-if v0.1.2
   Compiling quote v0.3.15
   Compiling dtoa v0.4.2
   Compiling ansi_term v0.9.0
   Compiling gcc v0.3.54

then

Compiling futures v0.1.17
   Compiling vec_map v0.8.0
   Compiling bitflags v0.9.1
   Compiling serde v0.9.15
   Compiling cc v1.0.3
   Compiling untrusted v0.5.1

etc so that once vdirsyncer installs dependancies they are already compiled.

Ralith · 2018-01-19T06:24:55Z

This is being widely reported, especially under Nix for some reason. See rust-lang/rust#46981

bennofs · 2018-01-31T09:07:33Z

I am working on this, it appears to be that our rust build is using an outdated version of the jobserver crate which had this bug.

teto · 2018-03-05T07:48:24Z

@pbogdan after successfully installing another rsut-based package, I tried your patch and it worked.
I hope it can make it into nixpkgs through either Mathias' or your PR 👍

teto · 2018-04-06T08:00:31Z

@bennofs any news :) ?

bennofs · 2018-04-06T09:29:30Z

@teto I think this should be fixed on master, since it uses a newer rustc release (1.24)
