Fran?ois, Thomas, All,

Thomas: question for you about this package you recently submitted...

On 2020-03-21 09:55 +0100, Francois Perrad spake thusly:

Thanks for the patch, but it seems there are a few other issues with
this perl package, with this defconfig:

    BR2_arm=y
    BR2_cortex_a7=y
    BR2_TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL=y
    BR2_PACKAGE_PERL=y
    BR2_PACKAGE_PERL_CRYPT_SSLEAY=y

which fails with:

    *** THIS IS NOT AN ERROR, JUST A MESSAGE FOR YOUR INFORMATION ***

        Do you really need Crypt::SSLeay?

        Starting with version 6.02 of LWP, https support was unbundled into
        LWP::Protocol::https. This module specifies as one of its prerequisites
        IO::Socket::SSL which is automatically used by LWP::UserAgent unless
        this preference is overridden separately. IO::Socket::SSL is a more
        complete implementation, and, crucially, it allows hostname
        verification. Crypt::SSLeay does not support this. At this point,
        Crypt::SSLeay is maintained to support existing software that already
        depends on it.

        However, it is possible that your software does not really depend on
        Crypt::SSLeay, only on the ability of LWP::UserAgent class to
        communicate with sites over SSL/TLS.

        If are using version LWP 6.02 or later, and therefore have installed
        LWP::Protocol::https and its dependencies, and do not explicitly use
        Net::SSL before loading LWP::UserAgent, or override the default socket
        class, you are probably using IO::Socket::SSL and do not really need
        Crypt::SSLeay.

        Before installing Crypt::SSLeay, you may want to try specifying a
        dependency on LWP::Protocol::https.

    make: *** [Makefile:23: _all] Error 2

So I see at least two problems here:

  - first, this module seems to be deprecated. It was added recently
    with lwp-protocols-https, although the version for that is already
    more recent than the one in the warning above.

  - second, the configure step, although it fails, does not cause
    Buildroot to stop immediately; instead, the build continues.
    And indeed, the code does just 'exit 0' when the test fails (see
    patch below)

So, do we really need to have this legacy package that is broken?


If you are interested, here's the patch I came up to fix the sanity
checks:
