From f7f94f316023f21f74e3ec81a6491168e6519b43 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mathieu Benoit Date: Mon, 17 Aug 2026 02:37:46 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] [ADD] test-chroot: the test that proved the port, made repeatable MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Sixty-eight successful builds said nothing true about whether the port worked. One chroot found the missing dynamic linker and the missing packages in a single run -- and it was done by hand, so "is it still true?" had no cheap answer. Three checks, kept apart because they fail for different reasons. RESOLVE runs pacman's own resolver with --nodeps OFF, the check the whole bootstrap skips. ARTEFACT greps every package for host contamination that raises no error. RUN installs for real and executes the binaries -- the only one that can catch an absent ld.so, since a package whose interpreter is missing installs perfectly. It earned itself immediately. ARTEFACT is clean across all 86 packages, and RESOLVE named the next milestone precisely: about forty packages are still missing, from pcre2 and libxcrypt to python and perl. --- FR --- Soixante-huit compilations réussies n'ont rien dit de vrai sur le fonctionnement du portage. Un seul chroot a trouvé l'interpréteur dynamique absent et les paquets manquants — et il avait été fait à la main, si bien que « est-ce toujours vrai ? » n'avait pas de réponse bon marché. Trois vérifications, tenues séparées parce qu'elles échouent pour des raisons différentes. RESOLVE lance le résolveur de pacman avec --nodeps DÉSACTIVÉ, le contrôle que tout l'amorçage saute. ARTEFACT inspecte chaque paquet pour les contaminations de l'hôte qui ne lèvent aucune erreur. RUN installe pour de vrai et exécute les binaires — seul capable de détecter un ld.so absent, puisqu'un paquet dont l'interpréteur manque s'installe parfaitement. Il s'est rentabilisé aussitôt. ARTEFACT est propre sur les 86 paquets, et RESOLVE a nommé l'étape suivante avec précision : une quarantaine de paquets manquent encore, de pcre2 et libxcrypt jusqu'à python et perl.
