[Buildroot] [pkg-perl infra 00/12] a package infrastructure for Perl/CPAN modules

[Buildroot] [pkg-perl infra 00/12] a package infrastructure for Perl/CPAN modules

[Francois Perrad]

This patch set contains 3 parts :
 1) the Perl/CPAN infrastructure
 2) some cleanup : cpanminus, ...
 3) few new packages using this infrastructure

Note: Perl/CPAN packages could be generated by a script (see 2/12 & 8/12)

Francois Perrad (12):
  perl: new infrastructure
  cpan: a home for Perl modules
  cpanminus: remove it
  perl: remove useless patch
  qemu: add a Config.in.host
  libxml-parser-perl: move and refactor with perl infrastructure
  host-libmodule-build-perl: new package
  manual: adding packages perl
  libcurses-perl: new package
  libnet-ssleay-perl: new package
  libmoose-perl: new package
  libxml-libxml-perl: new package

+# Perl package infrastructure
+#
+# This file implements an infrastructure that eases development of
+# package .mk files for Perl packages.
+#
+# See the Buildroot documentation for details on the usage of this
+# infrastructure
+#
+# In terms of implementation, this perl infrastructure requires
+# the .mk file to only specify metadata informations about the
+# package: name, version, download URL, etc.
+#
+# We still allow the package .mk file to override what the different
+# steps are doing, if needed. For example, if <PKG>_BUILD_CMDS is
+# already defined, it is used as the list of commands to perform to
+# build the package, instead of the default perl behaviour. The
+# package can also define some post operation hooks.

+  =head1 NAME
+  
+  MetaCPAN::API::Tiny - A Tiny API client for MetaCPAN
+  
+  =head1 VERSION
+  
+  version 1.131730
+  
+  =head1 DESCRIPTION
+  
+  This is the Tiny version of L<MetaCPAN::API>. It implements a compatible API
+  with a few notable exceptions:
+  
+  =over 4
+  
+  =item Attributes are direct hash access
+  
+  The attributes defined using Mo(o|u)se are now accessed via the blessed hash
+  directly. There are no accessors defined to access this elements.
+  
+  =item Exception handling
+  
+  Instead of using Try::Tiny, raw evals are used. This could potentially cause
+  issues, so just be aware.
+  
+  =item Testing
+  
+  Test::Fatal was replaced with an eval implementation of exception().
+  Test::TinyMocker usage is retained, but may be absorbed since it is pure perl
+  
+  =back
+  
+  =head1 CLASS_METHODS
+  
+  =head2 new
+  
+  new is the constructor for MetaCPAN::API::Tiny. In the non-tiny version of this
+  module, this is provided via Any::Moose built from the attributes defined. In
+  the tiny version, we define our own constructor. It takes the same arguments
+  and provides similar checks to MetaCPAN::API with regards to arguments passed.
+  
+  =head1 PUBLIC_METHODS
+  
+  =head2 source
+  
+      my $source = $mcpan->source(
+          author  => 'DOY',
+          release => 'Moose-2.0201',
+          path    => 'lib/Moose.pm',
+      );
+  
+  Searches MetaCPAN for a module or a specific release and returns the plain source.
+  
+  =head2 release
+  
+      my $result = $mcpan->release( distribution => 'Moose' );
+  
+      # or
+      my $result = $mcpan->release( author => 'DOY', release => 'Moose-2.0001' );
+  
+  Searches MetaCPAN for a dist.
+  
+  You can do complex searches using 'search' parameter:
+  
+      # example lifted from MetaCPAN docs
+      my $result = $mcpan->release(
+          search => {
+              author => "OALDERS AND ",
+              filter => "status:latest",
+              fields => "name",
+              size   => 1,
+          },
+      );
+  
+  =head2 pod
+  
+      my $result = $mcpan->pod( module => 'Moose' );
+  
+      # or
+      my $result = $mcpan->pod(
+          author  => 'DOY',
+          release => 'Moose-2.0201',
+          path    => 'lib/Moose.pm',
+      );
+  
+  Searches MetaCPAN for a module or a specific release and returns the POD.
+  
+  =head2 module
+  
+      my $result = $mcpan->module('MetaCPAN::API');
+  
+  Searches MetaCPAN and returns a module's ".pm" file.
+  
+  =head2 file
+  
+  A synonym of L</module>
+  
+  =head2 author
+  
+      my $result1 = $mcpan->author('XSAWYERX');
+      my $result2 = $mcpan->author( pauseid => 'XSAWYERX' );
+  
+  Searches MetaCPAN for a specific author.
+  
+  You can do complex searches using 'search' parameter:
+  
+      # example lifted from MetaCPAN docs
+      my $result = $mcpan->author(
+          search => {
+              q    => 'profile.name:twitter',
+              size => 1,
+          },
+      );
+  
+  =head2 fetch
+  
+      my $result = $mcpan->fetch('/release/distribution/Moose');
+  
+      # with parameters
+      my $more = $mcpan->fetch(
+          '/release/distribution/Moose',
+          param => 'value',
+      );
+  
+  This is a helper method for API implementations. It fetches a path from MetaCPAN, decodes the JSON from the content variable and returns it.
+  
+  You don't really need to use it, but you can in case you want to write your own extension implementation to MetaCPAN::API.
+  
+  It accepts an additional hash as "GET" parameters.
+  
+  =head2 post
+  
+      # /release&content={"query":{"match_all":{}},"filter":{"prefix":{"archive":"Cache-Cache-1.06"}}}
+      my $result = $mcpan->post(
+          'release',
+          {   
+              query  => { match_all => {} },
+              filter => { prefix => { archive => 'Cache-Cache-1.06' } },
+          },
+      );
+  
+  The POST equivalent of the "fetch()" method. It gets the path and JSON request.
+  
+  =head1 THANKS
+  
+  Overall the tests and code were ripped directly from MetaCPAN::API and
+  tiny-fied. A big thanks to Sawyer X for writing the original module.

+Infrastructure for Perl/CPAN packages
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+[[perl-package-tutorial]]
+
++perl-package+ tutorial
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+First, let's see how to NOT write a +.mk+ file for a Perl/CPAN package,
+with an example :
+
+------------------------
+01: ################################################################################
+02: #
+03: # libfoo-bar-perl
+04: #
+05: ################################################################################
+06:
+07: LIBFOO_BAR_PERL_VERSION = 0.02
+08: LIBFOO_BAR_PERL_AUTHOR = MONGERS
+09: LIBFOO_BAR_PERL_SOURCE = Foo-$(LIBFOO_BAR_PERL_VERSION).tar.gz
+10: LIBFOO_BAR_PERL_SITE = $(BR2_CPAN_MIRROR)/authors/id/M/MO/MONGER/
+11: LIBFOO_BAR_PERL_DEPENDENCIES = perl libstrictures-perl
+12: HOST_LIBFOO_BAR_PERL_DEPENDENCIES = host-libstrictures-perl
+13: LIBFOO_BAR_PERL_LICENSE = perl_5
+14:
+15: $(eval $(perl-package))
+16: $(eval $(host-perl-package))
+------------------------
+
+In fact, this file and the Config.in are written by running
+the script +./scancpan Foo-Bar+ in the +TOPDIR+ directory.
+This script creates packages for all required Perl/CPAN dependencies.
+All theses generated files are stored in the +package/cpan+ directory.
+In very specific case, this Makefile must be modified, for example : for
+adding a C native dependency.
+
+The Perl/CPAN modules are fine-grained, the number of module grows quickly
+over 100. So, only modified files will be stored in the Buildroot repository,
+all others can be regenerated by +scancpan+.
+
+[[perl-package-reference]]
+
++perl-package+ reference
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+This infrastructure handles various Perl build systems :
++ExtUtils-MakeMaker+, +Module-Build+ and +Module-Build-Tiny+.
+
+The main macro of the Perl/CPAN package infrastructure is
++perl-package+. It is similar to the +generic-package+ macro. The ability to
+have target and host packages is also available, with the
++host-perl-package+ macro.
+
+Just like the generic infrastructure, the Perl/CPAN infrastructure
+works by defining a number of variables before calling the
++perl-package+ macro.
+
+First, all the package metadata information variables that exist in the
+generic infrastructure also exist in the Perl/CPAN infrastructure:
++LIBFOO_VERSION+, +LIBFOO_SOURCE+,
++LIBFOO_PATCH+, +LIBFOO_SITE+,
++LIBFOO_SUBDIR+, +LIBFOO_DEPENDENCIES+,
++LIBFOO_INSTALL_TARGET+.
+
+A few additional variables, specific to the Perl/CPAN infrastructure,
+can also be defined. Many of them are only useful in very specific
+cases, typical packages will therefore only use a few of them.
+
+* +LIBFOO_CONF_OPT+, to specify additional configure
+  options to pass to the +perl Makefile.PL+ or +perl Build.PL+.
+  By default, empty.
+
+* +LIBFOO_BUILD_OPT+, to specify additional options to
+  pass to +make pure_all+ or +perl Build build+ in the build step.
+  By default, empty.
+
+* +LIBFOO_INSTALL_TARGET_OPT+, to specify additional options to
+  pass to +make pure_install+ or +perl Build install+ in the install step.
+  By default, empty.
+
+* +HOST_LIBFOO_INSTALL_OPT+, to specify additional options to
+  pass to +make pure_install+ or +perl Build install+ in the install step.
+  By default, empty.
+
+* +LIBFOO_CLEAN_OPT+, to specify additional options to
+  pass to +make clean+ or +perl Build clean+ in the clean step.
+  By default, empty.

I think this BR2_HOST_ONLY thing is stupid. I know we have it in
Buildroot, but we should just kill it and remove the useless Config.in
files.

Is this needed? Maybe to remove host-perl as an automatic dependency?
In any case, having a comment on top of this line would be good.

I believe this chunk should be part of the patch adding scancpan.

We quite certainly want this script somewhere under support/scripts/,
in a separate patch from the one adding the BR2_CPAN_MIRROR option and
the package/cpan/ directory. And also, the script needs a comment at
the beginning that explains what it is, what it does, how to use it,
and what is the license of the script (because I see it reuses some
existing code, so we have to figure out if the license of this code is
compatible with the Buildroot license).

Adding Yann in Cc on this one. Until now, host-qemu was only used by
cpanminus, so if cpanminus is removed, I don't see the point of keeping
host-qemu. But I know Yann was interested in it, so it would be good to
understand what's the plan and needs around host-qemu after cpanminus
removal.

These changes to package/Makefile.in have absolutely nothing to do with
the libxml-parser-perl package. They should be part of a different
commit, and come with a proper justification.

As I said in the comment to PATCH 07/12, we probably just want to get
rid of the Config.in.

Also, can you enable rename detection when generating your patches (git
format-patch -M), so that we can more easily review patches that are
moving code around?

Hum, the same thing here. Maybe we need to factorize this in
package/Makefile.in, instead of removing all PERLLIB definitions from
package/Makefile.in ?

Thanks!

I think this principle is quite problematic. If one looks at the
"libmoose-perl: new package", it has a huge number of dependencies, and
the vast majority of them are not available in Buildroot. One need to
run the scancpan script to get all the packages generated.

I unfortunately don't really have a good proposal to offer. Isn't it
better to simply integrate all those Perl modules as normal Buildroot
packages, and have the proper tools/scripts to update those Perl module
packages from CPAN ? So it would be a bit like your scancpan script,
except that packages are committed in the Buildroot Git repository, and
with scancpan you can update those packages from CPAN and send patches
to Buildroot to push those updates.

Best regards,

Thomas

This script was "fatpacked", so the beginning is a bundle of dependencies.
The initial part that I wrote, is at the end and contains an Usage description.

Now, host-qemu-user is required by no package.
But it remains a useful tool for a developer which could run it manually.

A BR user (a single developer or an organization) needs its own
repository for config, specific packages and final application.
At this time, I think that packages generated by `scancpan` must be
saved in an user repo and not in the BR repo.
But we really need feeback from users.

That would be ok if that would work for *all* packages. But apparently
for some packages, you anyway need them in the BR repository because
the scancpan cannot generate the package .mk completely (if I
understand correctly, when the package has dependencies on C/native
libraries). And I'd find it really strange/weird to have packages in
Buildroot that declare some dependencies that are not available in
Buildroot.

Having hundreds of Perl packages does not really scare me much actually,
for several reasons:

 (1) It seems like with a tool similar to scancpan, one can easily
     maintain/updated these packages.

 (2) You're active on maintaining the Perl stuff.

 (3) With the perl infrastructure you've done, each .mk file is really
     small and straightforward.

Best regards,

Thomas
