nfsen @1.3 staging into destroot failure

[stanrandom@…]

It looks like nfsen's unhappy with the current version of RRD. I think this is the relevant bit of the install log.

:info:destroot Check for required Perl modules: All modules found.
:info:destroot RRD version '1.4007' not yet supported!
:info:destroot
:info:destroot Command failed: /opt/local/bin/perl5.12 ./install.pl ./etc/nfsen-dist.conf
:info:destroot Exit code: 255
:error:destroot org.macports.destroot for port nfsen returned: command execution failed

I'm on Mac OS 10.8.2 with MacPorts 2.1.3 and XCode 4.6

In the future, please Cc the port maintainer(s).

[stanrandom@…]

This wasn't resolved by the recent version bumps to 10.8.3 with Xcode 4.6.1, for what it's worth - thought I'd update this just to reflect latest version numbers.

[stanrandom@…]

I think this is the line in NfSenRRD.pm that's causing this:

if ( $rrd_version >= 1.2 && $rrd_version < 1.3 ) {

The nfsen port will only work with RRD 1.0.x or 1.2.x, and latest 1.2.x rrdtool in ports is five years old so I didn't fancy installing that.

The version of that file from the latest nfsen in github has 1.3 replaced with 1.5

Still got this problem on 10.9.1

made an update to 1.3.6p1 and an extra variant for devel (which seems a bit stalled since dec 2008 but used module::build / Work in progress)

still test needed but seems running

I recently reinstall my whole macports install and for some reason, rrdtool switch to 5.16 only

$ port contents rrdtool|grep RRDs.pm
  /opt/local/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.16.1/darwin-thread-multi-2level/RRDs.pm

Portfile doesn't seem to have change as seen here ​https://trac.macports.org/browser/trunk/dports/net/rrdtool?rev=107344&order=name

I switch the port to 5.16 but not sure if it's depending on install. Also put a subport devel instead of variant but for now it doesn't built as before, not sure why.

Note this bug superseded/solved #34977, #22923 and partially related to #42498

I'm trying to work on #48365 and I was bitten by this problem.

Check for required Perl modules: All modules found.
RRD version '1.5001' not yet supported!

Command failed: /opt/local/bin/perl5.22 ./install.pl ./etc/nfsen-dist.conf

The rrdtool is currently at version 1.5.5. I upgraded p5-net-nfdump in r143405 hoping it might have any influence (and simply because it needed an update), but nothing changes.

I tried to switch to version 1.7 of nfsen, but that doesn't solve anything.

See the comment of the retired maintainer:

I recommended this port be deleted, for the reasons you can see. I thought there would be some way to patch this port, but without developer support there isn't a lot that can be done. My mistake was committing a non-finished port in the first place.

[mojca (Mojca Miklavec)]

I now upgraded the port and switched to perl 5.22 nevertheless (it was broken before, so we have nothing to loose) in r143406.

I see that jul_bsd added additional patches, but I wasn't sure which ones are still relevent. If you are still here and willing to check what else might be needed, feel free to post a new patch and I can include that one.

Maybe there is a way to install an older (private) version of rrdtool somehow?

Anyway, I don't know if this port is needed/wanted. It hasn't been functional for a long time from what I can see and the development doesn't really seem active.

[mojca (Mojca Miklavec)]

This port has apparently been broken for 5 years and I don't see any serious attempt to fix it as well as no upstream development. If someone wants to get the port working again, feel free to resurrect it, but I'll remove a defunct port from the distribution for now as it makes no sense to pretend to support it without actually supporting it.
