Since the .pkg installer would automatically call `port -v selfupdate` I've modified .travis.yml in base to produce an archive of /opt/local after executing `sudo port install`. To create the "macports" user I also added the postflight script into the archive at https://github.com/macports-staging/macports-base/releases. After extracting the archive, patching conf files and running postflight, I tried to install getopt for mpbb but that failed withError: Updating database of binaries failed Error: rev-upgrade failed: can't read "env(COLUMNS)": no such variable Error: Follow https://guide.macports.org/#project.tickets to report a bug.I think this happens because MacPorts for some reason thinks stdout is connected to a terminal, but ioctl(STDOUT_FILENO, TIOCGWINSZ) does not return useful sizes and the environment variables COLUMNS and LINES are not set either.
Thanks. It was quite obvious but I thought it would be a problem in the archive.
A pre-compiled tarball of /opt/local for each system (OS version, arch, Xcode version, etc.) seems the right way to me to get the base system to the worker as quick as possible. The base tarball creation itself should be a job on Travis CI to easily create it for each new base release.
I've done that in https://github.com/macports-staging/macports-base/blob/master/.travis.yml. Does anyone have a list of packages to install on Ubuntu Trusty to run MacPorts? This would save some test builds for Travis. -- Best regards, Zero King Don't trust the From address.
