Checksum mismatches for generated tarballs from GitHub

[raimue (Rainer Müller)]

Apparently, GitHub upgraded their software and changed the way git tarballs are generated due to a ​bugfix in upstream git. The produced tarballs will differ from those that have been generated before.

The checksums of the following ports have changed due to this (ran against [ffdb5922289aca17f166d14e3e91ecbe52278c10/macports-ports]):

I do not know if GitHub actually invalidated the generated tarballs from their download caches, so the following might not be conclusive and checksums that are deemed correct might be subject to change in the future.

To track the progress, please do not edit above table as-is but remove fixed ports from the port field in this ticket.

See also this similar report for Homebrew: ​https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/issues/18044

For reference, above list was generated with these commands:

$ grep -l -R '^github\.setup' . | xargs -I{} sh -c 'basename $(dirname {})' | while read port; do sudo port clean --all \; fetch --no-mirrors \ checksum || echo $port > github-failed.txt; done
$ while read port; do port info --line --name --maintainer $port; done < <(sort -f github-failed.txt) | awk -F$'\t' '{printf "|| %-40s || %s ||\n", $2, $1}'

[raimue (Rainer Müller)]

In order to fix these ports, please apply the recipe from wiki:PortfileRecipes#stealth-updates by adding a dist_subdir.

See: #54839

[nerdling (Jeremy Lavergne)]

I did get a changed distfile for todotxt (07842f8/macports-ports), but libiodbc seems to still be correct.

[raimue (Rainer Müller)]

Replying to nerdling:

but libiodbc seems to still be correct.

You are right, I only checked if the command was successful and the problem with libiodbc was unrelated and temporary (502 Bad Gateway). I noticed now that the list also contains some other errors such as 404 Not Found for some ports. However, they need to be looked into anyway, so I am not re-running the whole thing.

certbot: revision bump got stealth update 2 GitHub

See: #54839

[lbschenkel (Leonardo Brondani Schenkel)]

There's a new syncthing release scheduled to happen in 3 days; since installing the pre-built binaries still works and this port has no variants that would force building from source, I think that the number of impacted users is on the low side and we can afford to wait so I can kill two birds with one stone. Sounds reasonable?

[raimue (Rainer Müller)]

Users of a non-default prefix will not receive binary archives, although I agree there are probably not many. Fixing the checksums will not affect existing installations in any way. We can assume the content of the distfiles has not changed as they are still based on the same git commit. There is no need to increase the revision when fixing the checksums and it will not cause any rebuilds.

[mojca (Mojca Miklavec)]

I planned to seize the opportunity to update texworks to 0.6.2 to avoid doing workarounds, but I cannot make it compile. I'll see if I can fix the problems quickly. If not, I'll do a workaround.

syncthing-0.14 has now been upgraded to a new upstream version, that also addresses the checksum problem

[joefowler (Joe Fowler)]

See #54890: I tried to follow the instructions and update port ifeffit. But as @ryandesign has politely pointed out, I did not actually have to change the checksums.

So can you check again that ifeffit belongs on this list? If it does, then I guess I am totally confused about what to do.

[raimue (Rainer Müller)]

I can confirm ifeffit was a false positive, follow-up in #54890.

Any update on when this will get fixed? This is preventing me from install packages such as Julia (see #55117). Thanks!

[raimue (Rainer Müller)]

As soon as you provide updated checksums. It just needs someone to work through these ports and update the checksums.

[lbschenkel (Leonardo Brondani Schenkel)]

Btw: syncthing-0.14 has been updated a while ago, I forgot to notify in this ticket.

Will 'sudo port distcheck blah' verify if a port suffers from this issue? Because I would expect mythweb.28 to be affected and it appears not to be.

gst-plugins-cairovis was not affected by this ticket. This ticket is only about automatically-generated tarballs, some of which changed because GitHub changed the method by which they were generated. gst-plugins-cairovis did not use an automatically-generated tarball; it used a manually-generated download that was provided by its developer (which I see is you), and there's no reason why its checksum should change unless the developer replaced the file with a different one, which has not happened for this port.

Well, in any case, I switched to an automatically generated tarball, so the stealth update workaround was needed anyway.

PortfileRecipes are suggestions for portfile authors, not users.

Frank has followed those instructions for the povray port, fixing it; all you need to do to receive the fix, as with any other MacPorts fix, is to run sudo port selfupdate and try to install the port again.

Where is a Portfile located by the way? Best, Max

The command port file povray will show you where povray's Portfile is located.

I'm guessing most of these have been fixed already, apart from a few older ports that haven't been updated in years.

In terms of ports that haven't been updated, the libcXXX ports are likely still affected, given that they haven't been touched in years. Though @barracuda156 has pending PRs for those in particular.
