Potentially, the file I really need is _core.so which (according to the search) is in pythonsvn. However, for the Solaris 9 version, it is not in there.

I think the subversion package has been reorganized where the Python bindings have been split out to "pythonsvn" on which "pysvn" should depend on instead of "subversion". Could you try installing that and see if it works? Then the dependency of pysvn can be adjusted and rereleased.

Best regards -- Dago

Hello Dago! I do have pysvn installed, and it only has the _pysvn_2_6.so file with a __init__.py. It is still missing the other .so files.

I meant that you add "pythonsvn" (CSWpythonsvn ) which is a different package. It is part of subversion.

For Solaris 9, the CSWpythonsvn has nothing but a stub. I have them all installed.

The Solaris 9 package seems to be broken. Please try one of these:
http://mirror.opencsw.org/opencsw/allpkgs/pythonsvn-1.7.2%2cREV%3d2011.12.29-SunOS5.9-i386-CSW.pkg.gz [^]
http://mirror.opencsw.org/opencsw/allpkgs/pythonsvn-1.7.2%2cREV%3d2011.12.29-SunOS5.9-sparc-CSW.pkg.gz [^]
If this works I can push them to unstable.

I could only try the sparc one, and it didn't work! :( I noticed it only contained the swig library, and not the _core.so I see on my Linux systems.

When I take a look at the other versions of the package I see lots of probably broken packages of pythonsvn in allpkgs at

The last functioning one for Solaris 9 seems to be
pythonsvn-1.6.15,REV=2011.01.16-SunOS5.9-sparc-CSW.pkg.gz

Could you also try this one?

Do you really need Solaris 9? Solaris 10 has a much better coverage at the moment, especially because of the new glib2 only begin available on Solaris 10.

I'm thinking that Solaris 9 is a red herring, it doesn't matter, 9 or 11 or 10.

You'll see the problem when you look at the list of files in the package:
http://buildfarm.opencsw.org/pkgdb/srv4/f55304036900433c9aded3c2a35c0a67/ [^]

The files that are supposed to be in:

/opt/csw/lib/python/site-packages/svn

are in:

/opt/csw/lib/svn/python/site-packages/svn

...and the Python interpreter won't find them. The problem is with the way the module is packaged.

You can temporarily work around that by setting PYTHONPATH to /opt/csw/lib/svn/pythohn/site-packages, or making symlinks to /opt/csw/lib/python/site-packages.

Looking at the build recipe, there's one line that causes the problem:

https://gar.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/gar/csw/mgar/pkg/subversion/trunk/Makefile [^]

SVNLIB = $(prefix)/lib/svn

All paths, including Python, are relative to this one, and that's why Python files end up under /opt/csw/lib/svn instead of /opt/csw/lib.

The problem is more that subversion 1.7 is only available for Solaris 10 at the moment due to the glib issue. This results in a mix of partly incompatible libs for Trac on Solaris 9 which I assume is responsible for Trac not working (Trac was always a bit complicated to do right).

Regarding the path: would you mind talking to Rupert fixing the path?

I looked at the Debian package, and the build recipe is really complex, applying a lot of customization. Not sure what to make of it, is it because of insufficient communication between Subversion developers and Debian packagers? I wouldn't like our build recipe to be as complex.

I looked at our recipe and I don't have a quick fix for it right now, although it could be as simple as changing one installation directory.

What I'm not sure about is why we change libdir to /opt/csw/lib/svn. Why make it so general?

Is it sufficient to just relocate the python files? Then we could use relocation during merge avoiding the complexity to fully dive into the build system, but just fit the install location to our needs?

It could be sufficient, it's certainly worth a try.

Coud you please try and move the files manually for now? I'll happily add the relocations to the Makefile then.

Just checked that to work around it, it's enough to make two symlinks:

sudo ln -s ../../svn/python/site-packages/svn /opt/csw/lib/python/site-packages/svn
sudo ln -s ../../svn/python/site-packages/libsvn /opt/csw/lib/python/site-packages/libsvn

This is after package installation. I suppose that something similar could be made in the package, until we find a better solution.

There is no point in waiting for this bug to be fixed. If you want it fixed, you (yes, you the reader) need to fix it yourself. If you're not already a package maintainer at OpenCSW, you can look at the 35 minute long tutorial[1] to get started - then you can offer your patch to package maintainers. You can find OpenCSW people on the users mailing list[2] and on the #opencsw channel on IRC on Freenode[3].

The problem is with the way the module is packaged. You can temporarily work around that by setting PYTHONPATH to /opt/csw/lib/svn/pythohn/site-packages, or making symlinks to /opt/csw/lib/python/site-packages. Looking at the build recipe, there's one line that causes the problem: https://gar.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/gar/csw/mgar/pkg/subversion/trunk/Makefile [^] SVNLIB = $(prefix)/lib/svn All paths, including Python, are relative to this one, and that's why Python files end up under /opt/csw/lib/svn instead of /opt/csw/lib.

This results in a mix of partly incompatible libs for Trac on Solaris 9 which I assume is responsible for Trac not working (Trac was always a bit complicated to do right). Regarding the path: would you mind talking to Rupert fixing the path? Best regards -- Dago

(0009665) maciej (manager) 2012-02-26 20:12	I looked at the Debian package, and the build recipe is really complex, applying a lot of customization. Not sure what to make of it, is it because of insufficient communication between Subversion developers and Debian packagers? I wouldn't like our build recipe to be as complex. I looked at our recipe and I don't have a quick fix for it right now, although it could be as simple as changing one installation directory. What I'm not sure about is why we change libdir to /opt/csw/lib/svn. Why make it so general?

(0009704) dam (administrator) 2012-03-04 21:55	Is it sufficient to just relocate the python files? Then we could use relocation during merge avoiding the complexity to fully dive into the build system, but just fit the install location to our needs?

(0009705) maciej (manager) 2012-03-04 21:56	It could be sufficient, it's certainly worth a try.

(0009706) dam (administrator) 2012-03-04 22:02	Coud you please try and move the files manually for now? I'll happily add the relocations to the Makefile then.

(0009707) maciej (manager) 2012-03-04 22:24	Just checked that to work around it, it's enough to make two symlinks: sudo ln -s ../../svn/python/site-packages/svn /opt/csw/lib/python/site-packages/svn sudo ln -s ../../svn/python/site-packages/libsvn /opt/csw/lib/python/site-packages/libsvn This is after package installation. I suppose that something similar could be made in the package, until we find a better solution.

If you're not already a package maintainer at OpenCSW, you can look at the 35 minute long tutorial[1] to get started - then you can offer your patch to package maintainers. You can find OpenCSW people on the users mailing list[2] and on the #opencsw channel on IRC on Freenode[3].
