Description Peter Robinson 2012-04-27 15:13:03 UTC
It's failing in a gdb test case for some reason

http://arm.koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=766235

Comment 1 Dave Malcolm 2012-04-30 16:33:02 UTC
For some reason test_gdb is failing every test case with:
AssertionError: 'warning: File "/builddir/build/BUILD/Python-2.7.3/build/debug/python-debug-gdb.py" auto-loading has been declined by your `auto-load safe-path\' set to "/usr".' != ''

Comment 2 Dave Malcolm 2012-04-30 16:40:29 UTC
Appears to relate to this patch set:
  http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2012-03/msg00826.html
from which the workaround appears to be to add:
  'set auto-load safe-path'
to the commands invoked in each selftest.

Comment 3 Dave Malcolm 2012-04-30 16:42:43 UTC
For reference, this was with gdb.armv7hl 0:7.4.50.20120120-40.fc17

Comment 4 Dave Malcolm 2012-04-30 17:07:55 UTC
Candidate patch committed to git as:
http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/gitweb/?p=python.git;a=commit;h=9261681cd04196e1c4370b4888c9dfeff2b19f66

Building python-2.7.3-5.fc18 for dist-rawhide

Comment 5 Dave Malcolm 2012-04-30 17:38:28 UTC
Build failed with:
  AssertionError: '"on" or "off" expected.' != ''

Comment 6 Dave Malcolm 2012-04-30 18:25:23 UTC
(In reply to comment #5)
> Build failed with:

This appears to be the error message for a gdb that doesn't understand "auto-load":
e.g. with GNU gdb (GDB) Fedora (7.3-43.fc15):
(gdb) set auto-load 
(gdb) set auto-load safe-path
"on" or "off" expected.
(gdb) set auto-load safe-path /
"on" or "off" expected.

Looks like F17's gdb has the patch, but rawhide doesn't.

Comment 7 Dave Malcolm 2012-04-30 20:27:29 UTC
It turns out that the gdb in git is more recent than that in the Koji
buildroots.  The updated gdb that has this feature is built into f17-candidate
and is available in updates-testing, but isn't yet in f17 or f18's buildroots for the primary architectures.

So this is a case where the secondary architectures are ahead of the primary architectures.

I've updated the patch to make it work with both old and new gdb builds (I
hope):

and am rebuilding into rawhide:
  Building python-2.7.3-6.fc18 for dist-rawhide
  Task info: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=4036938

This built successfully into rawhide, and am building into f17:
   Building python-2.7.3-6.fc17 for f17-candidate
   Task info: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=4037025
and trying a scratch build for python3 (which presumably has the same issue).

Does this commit fix the build on ARM? (see the notes in comment #7; I did test the patch both with and without the new gdb feature, but the proof of the pudding is in the eating).

Comment 9 Peter Robinson 2012-04-30 21:56:18 UTC
Just submitted it as a new build http://arm.koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=781730

Comment 10 Peter Robinson 2012-05-01 07:01:00 UTC
Confirmed that python-2.7.3-6.fc17 builds fine on ARM

and this scratch build also succeeded, so I've committed and pushed for python3 in master and f17, and am building non-scratch builds:
  Building python3-3.2.3-5.fc18 for dist-rawhide
  Task info: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=4040193

Thanks!

Closing this bug out, as I believe I don't need to do a Bodhi update for this, right?

We need bodhi updates for F-17. We need the same builds tagged appropriately in mainline as for all secondary arches.

(both of these builds succeeded)
