[Buildroot] [PATCH 00/24] Drop unused host packages

[Buildroot] [PATCH 00/24] Drop unused host packages

[Julien Floret]

A lot of host packages are never built, because they don't have a
Config.in option, and are never referenced in other packages'
dependencies.

This series removes them to avoid maintaining unneeded code; they
will still be in git history if some are needed again in the future.

The other motivation behind this cleanup is that I'm starting to think
about a new proposal for speeding up the Makefile parsing, similar to
what Thomas proposed here:
http://lists.busybox.net/pipermail/buildroot/2014-March/092548.html

As Thomas explained, this change would imply adding blind Config.in
options for all host packages. It's quite a big change, so a little
preliminary cleanup could help.

This package is meant to be used in the (near?) future by the refpolicy
stuff needed for SELinux. We should keep it IMO.

This one is a good example of what I said yesterday. You have the
following dependency chain:

 ejabberd -> host-erlang-lager -> host-erlang-goldrush

The host-erlang-lager -> host-erlang-goldrush dependency is not visible
by grepping for host-erlang-goldrush because the erlang-lager package
only does:

ERLANG_LAGER_VERSION = 2.2.0
ERLANG_LAGER_SITE = $(call github,basho,lager,$(ERLANG_LAGER_VERSION))
ERLANG_LAGER_LICENSE = Apache-2.0
ERLANG_LAGER_LICENSE_FILES = LICENSE
ERLANG_LAGER_DEPENDENCIES = erlang-goldrush

$(eval $(rebar-package))
$(eval $(host-rebar-package))

And the line:

ERLANG_LAGER_DEPENDENCIES = erlang-goldrush

implies:

HOST_ERLANG_LAGER_DEPENDENCIES = host-erlang-goldrush

Best regards,

Thomas

This package (and its host variant) was added by Peter Korsgaard. I
guess the JS minimizer is useful on the host, when building other
packages, like web sites and their javascript code. Such packages are
generally not in Buildroot upstream, which is why we don't have a
dependency on host-jsmin anywhere.

Should we add a menuconfig entry, even though it's merely a build
dependency?

Peter?

Yes, that might be the best solution. That also makes it available for
use in E.G. a post-build script.

All those patches have already been marked rejected, so no worries.

We are still wondering how to deal with those "orphan" host packages
though.

I haven't looked at the series, but did you take into account that just
grepping for "host-foo" is not sufficient to know if the host-foo
package is used or not?

Indeed, if a package has:

BAR_DEPENDENCIES = foo

then host-bar automatically has a dependency on host-foo, without
host-foo being written anywhere.

Can you confirm this is something you have taken into account?

Thanks,

Thomas

No, I'm afraid I missed this point, sorry...
I checked only for dependencies on host-foo, or BR2_PACKAGE_HOST_FOO presence.

Then you might have missed some of the possible uses of those host
packages, I'm afraid :-/

Can you double check this, and see if your series still applies or
whether it should be reworked ?

It surely needs some rework, sorry for the noise!
From your comments, I also understand some host packages should be kept
even if they are unused in buildroot upstream (e.g. jsmin), so I guess it's not
trivial for me to know which packages could be removed.

No problem, this cleanup effort is definitely welcome.

Yes, there are some tricky cases. Normally the rule should indeed be
that a host package should either:

 1/ Be described in a Config.in.host file and therefore visible in
    menuconfig ;

 2/ Be a dependency of another package.

However, there are other situations:

 */ Host packages that we merge, even if they are not *yet* used by
    target packages. We sometimes do this to help people reduce the
    size of their patch series by merging some initial patches, while
    the remaining patches are still under discussion/review. Normally
    this is only a temporary situation (but for sepolgen, it's a
    temporary situation that lasts since many months).

 */ Host packages that are not used by other packages in Buildroot, but
    might be used by private, company/project-specific packages. I
    don't like this situation, because there is really no way these
    host packages will ever be built/tested. But I'm not sure what to
    do about these: adding an entry in menuconfig is a bit weird since
    they are not really needed for anything else but a build dependency.

What do others think?

Thanks,

Thomas

I guess we could argue that if company/project is willing to maintain some
private package(s), then they are willing to maintain its dependencies,
incluing host package(s) and carry the whole bunch out of tree.

I can confirm some of the host packages removed with the patch series are used to build private packages, in private buildroot trees.

Of course, we try to contribute as much as possible, and it seems to me that keep this packages in the tree is good for us, because our private tree based on upstream buildroot tree have no more than 10 patches. Everytime there is an opportunity to send one of this patches to buildroot upstream, we have one less package to maintain internally, and this is good for us and for the project.

We could think of a stronger politics of ownership for these packages, instead of removing them from the upstream tree.

Some host packages, like perl-file-util, would be a little harder to maintain in our buildroot-tree.

Then maybe the best approach would be to add Kconfig options for
all host packages, similarly to target packages - blind options for build
dependencies that get selected automatically by other packages, and
explicit options for host packages that are unreachable in upstream
buildroot - to allow testing their build and keep track of them?

Besides, having Kconfig options for all host packages would open the way
to including only the .mk files of selected packages, to speed up the
makefile parsing.
Maybe it could be handy for other things, too?

 I would agree with this.

 And I agree with this as well.

 That said, I'm less opposed to adding Config.in.host options for random
packages than some other people here.

 IIRC it was also needed to get per-package staging completely correct. And it
would allow to simplify the construction of the list of packages. Things like
ALL_DEPENDENCIES wouldn't be needed anymore.

 That automatic derivation of dependencies of host packages sounded like a good
idea at the time, but it can really bite you. Of the 200 host packages that we
have at the moment, there are just 64 that use the inheritance - and many of
them are in Julien's list here (possibly incorrectly).

 So, as the person who introduced this mis-feature, I'm the first one to vote
for removing it again.

 Arnout

I agree that this automatic derivation has caused quite a few issues in
the past and in many cases, we need different dependencies for the host
and the target variants. So maybe we should think of removing this
functionality.

Sounds good to me, I can take a look at this.

 Since that will be 64 patches, it may be a good idea to already submit just a
subset.

Ok, done. By the way, I only found 60 packages to modify actually
(4 target packages have a dependency on their host variant only).
