Description Karolina Surma 2024-02-14 17:19:14 UTC
xrootd fails to build with Python 3.13.0a3.

There are multiple test failures: 
https://copr-be.cloud.fedoraproject.org/results/@python/python3.13/fedora-rawhide-x86_64/07015458-xrootd/builder-live.log.gz

For all our attempts to build xrootd with Python 3.13, see:
https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/g/python/python3.13/package/xrootd/

To see What's new in Python 3.13: https://docs.python.org/3.13/whatsnew/3.13.html

Testing and mass rebuild of packages is happening in copr.
You can follow these instructions to test locally in mock if your package builds with Python 3.13:
https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/g/python/python3.13/

Let us know here if you have any questions.

Python 3.13 is planned to be included in Fedora 41.
To make that update smoother, we're building Fedora packages with all pre-releases of Python 3.13.
A build failure prevents us from testing all dependent packages (transitive [Build]Requires),
so if this package is required a lot, it's important for us to get it fixed soon.

We'd appreciate help from the people who know this package best,
but if you don't want to work on this now, let us know so we can try to work around it on our side.

Comment 1 Guilherme Amadio 2024-02-15 16:25:15 UTC
I had a look at the build logs, and it looks like this is similar to https://github.com/xrootd/xrootd/issues/2096
Are the tests by any chance being run on a filesystem without support for user extended attributes?
You will likely need a kernel with the configurations below enabled if the tests must run on tmpfs.

CONFIG_TMPFS=y
CONFIG_TMPFS_POSIX_ACL=y
CONFIG_TMPFS_XATTR=y

Comment 3 Karolina Surma 2024-02-16 10:15:33 UTC
I conditionalized the test run:

 %check
-%ctest3
+%{!?copr_projectname:%ctest3}

The build succeeded: https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/g/python/python3.13/build/7022148/
If that's an acceptable solution, I'll send a PR.

Comment 4 Miro Hrončok 2024-02-16 10:33:07 UTC
We should probably only skip *some* tests.

Comment 5 Karolina Surma 2024-02-16 14:25:22 UTC
Local build with Python 3.13 repository in mock was successful with all the tests passing. So this would be indeed a copr issue.

Comment 6 Guilherme Amadio 2024-02-16 16:28:10 UTC
Any test which involves running the server will need to use a filesystem with support for extended attributes, as the server needs it to function.
I will add a configuration flag and also a simple check to disable tests that require the server if the filesystem has no support for xattrs, as
this is not the first time that this comes up. We already disable those tests automatically when running as root, since the server refuses to run
in privileged mode due to security concerns.

Comment 7 Mattias Ellert 2024-02-23 13:15:17 UTC
The Debian build does the following:

override_dh_auto_test:
	touch testfile
	if ( setfattr -n user.testattr -v testvalue testfile ) ; then \
	    dh_auto_test ; \
	else \
	    echo "Extended file attributes not supported by file system" ; \
	    echo "Don't run tests that require them" ; \
	    dh_auto_test -- ARGS+="-E '\
XrdCl::FileCopyTest|\
XrdCl::FileSystemTest.PlugInTest|\
XrdCl::FileSystemTest.ServerQueryTest|\
XrdCl::FileSystemTest.XAttrTest|\
XrdCl::FileTest.XAttrTest|\
XrdCl::LocalFileHandlerTest.XAttrTest|\
XrdCl::ThreadingTest|\
XrdCl::WorkflowTest.CheckpointTest|\
XrdCl::WorkflowTest.XAttrWorkflowTest|\
XrdCl::XrdEcTests|\
XrdEc::|\
XRootD::smoke-test-cluster'" ; \
	fi
	rm testfile

This was never implemented in the Fedora/EPEL spec file since all the builders in koji supports xattrs.
