alsa-lib-1.1.6.tar.bz2: some files are missing in the tarball

alsa-lib-1.1.6.tar.bz2: some files are missing in the tarball

[Lars Wendler]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1075 bytes --]

Hello list,

please have a look at this Gentoo bug report [1] where a user reported
that he cannot compile alsa-lib-1.1.6 with --enable-alisp configure
option. The error message is:

  make[3]: *** No rule to make target 'SI7018/sndoc-mixer.alisp',
  needed by 'all-am'. Stop.

This happens because the directory src/conf/cards/SI7018 is missing
as well as the following files:

src/conf/cards/aliases.alisp
src/conf/smixer.conf
src/conf/sndo-mixer.alisp

First I thought those files were removed intentionally but checking the
alsa-lib git tree I can see all files still being available. So at
Gentoo we fixed this by re-adding the files through a patch [2].

Any chance this was an accidental oversight?

Kind regards
Lars

It's because the contents of EXTRA_DIST also depends on the configure
option, and the tarball was created without enabling the feature, I
suppose.  Maybe we should fix EXTRA_DIST to list all files
unconditionally.


thanks,

This is still an issue with latest 1.1.9 release tarball. Did you
forget about this or do you still look for a good solution?

IMO, we should go for dropping alisp.
