Bug #2645
closed
Building rudder-agent fails as it cannot find XML::NamespaceSupport perl library
Added by Michael Gliwinski almost 12 years ago.
Updated about 9 years ago.
Description
rpmbuild -ba SPECS/rudder-agent.spec fails with:
Fetching file:///root/rudder-agent/SOURCES/files/XML-SAX-0.96.tar.gz ... OK
Configuring XML-SAX-0.96 ... OK
==> Found dependencies: XML::NamespaceSupport
! Finding XML::NamespaceSupport on cpanmetadb failed.
! Finding XML::NamespaceSupport on search.cpan.org failed.
! Couldn't find module or a distribution XML::NamespaceSupport
! Bailing out the installation for XML-SAX-0.96. Retry with --prompt or --force.
XML::NamespaceSupport is not downloaded into SOURCES/files/ so will probably need to be added to rudder-packages/rudder-agent/SOURCES/Makefile and to rudder-packages/rudder-agent/SOURCES/perl-prepare.sh
With current master there are a couple more packages (dependencies of the newly added), here's how I modified perl-prepare.sh:
--- a/rudder-agent/SOURCES/perl-prepare.sh

Like #2644 I'm not sure about this issue. Matthieu, you worked on it, could you add some more information, please ?

Well, actually the dependencies required for the new version of Fusion Inventory agent have been drastically reduced.
Our tests showed that this line is sufficient:
MODULES="Digest::MD5 Net::IP XML::SAX XML::Simple UNIVERSAL::require File::Which XML::TreePP"
This is what is used in rudder-agent.

I should probably note that my build server doesn't have internet access. This bug and and #2644 are about dependencies of the packages listed (e.g. XML::NamespaceSupport is a dependency of XML::SAX).
It's quite possible that if the build server had internet access, cpan would happily download them itself. I assumed that "no internet access at build-time" was the use case since you mirror the packages on your server and download them into SOURCES/files/ before the build proper (in SOURCES/Makefile).
Sorry if I caused any confusion.

Oh, I understand. Well, I will re-target this for the next release, it is not critical, but should be investigated. Thank you for explaining it further :)
- Target version changed from 2.4.0~beta4 to 2.4.0~rc1
- Target version changed from 2.4.0~rc1 to Ideas (not version specific)
In the future, we will rework our packages to not build and use our own Perl installation, but use the system's... So I don't think we should worry about this too much for now.

I'm pretty sure this bug is not relevant anymore. Could someone with more insight close this one if it is indeed not the case anymore ?
- Status changed from New to Rejected
This was fixed by #4965. I'm marking this as a duplicate, because the other ticket contains the appropriate commits, but it was actually the original. Thanks for the report Michael!
