Обсуждение: pgBackRest 2.52 - New upstream version
Hi All, I've pushed a commit [1] updating the package version pgbackrest to 2.52 to salsa.debian.org. The GitLab CI is green and the package is ready for review and upload. --Bradford [1]: https://salsa.debian.org/postgresql/pgbackrest/-/commit/4bed3fd233fae4bd09487d559b9251786b3260c4
Hi All, Just following up to see if there are any blockers to having pgbackrest uploaded. --Bradford

But unfortunately, bullseye and focal are not happy: ../meson.build:117:0: ERROR: <ExternalProgram 'python3' -> ['/usr/bin/python3']> is not a valid python or it is missing setuptools (Interestingly, buster is happy with the meson+python3 combination) Christoph

This is actually a bug/typo in older versions of meson. What is actually required (in some cases) is python3-distutils. See https://github.com/pgbackrest/pgbackrest/commit/e00e33b52. The purpose of this commit is to not hardcode the python bin. However, this requirement is only for certain older (but not too old) versions of Debian/Ubuntu. Ubuntu 24.04, for instance, does not have this package and works fine without it. Of the Ubuntu versions only focal seems to require it. The only Debian version we currently have in CI, stretch, does not require it. It's a bit of a mess, but looks like we need to install python3-distutils just for bullseye and focal as a build dependency. Is that possible? Regards, -David
Hi David and Christoph, > This is actually a bug/typo in older versions of meson. What is actually > required (in some cases) is python3-distutils. I found [this issue][1] on GitHub repo for meson which indicates that meson 0.48.0 added a dependency on python's setuptools module. This issue is quite old but it was referenced by a [newer pull request][2] that seems to indicate that at some point meson depended on python's distutils module. This PR was referenced by an even [newer PR][3] that seems to indicate that meson moved away from using the distutils module. This is probably why this is only an issue in bullseye or focal and not older or newer dists. > It's a bit of a mess, but looks like we need to install > python3-distutils just for bullseye and focal as a build dependency. Is > that possible? Adding python3-distutils for just bullseye and focal should be doable. I believe the scripts used to build the packages for the PGDG apt repo has an existing pattern for tweaking the package. Attached is a patch that should add python3-distutils to pgbackrest's list of build dependencies only on bullseye or focal. --Bradford [1]: https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/issues/4267 [2]: https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/pull/9288 [3]: https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/pull/11133

We should keep it simple and add it unconditionally. python3-distutils is needed on python < 3.10, so I used this: python3 (>= 3.10) | python3-distutils Christoph

I guess their answer would be to upgrade. Regards, -David
