Hi, thanks for this package. I guess it needs a git protocol update in the source due to github changes.

Cloning into bare repository '/tmp/mkosi-git/mkosi'...
fatal: remote error: 
  The unauthenticated git protocol on port 9418 is no longer supported.
Please see https://github.blog/2021-09-01-improving-git-protocol-security-github/ for more information.

TOCTOU stands for “time-of-check to time-of-use” – it’s theoretically possible (though admittedly not likely) that the pandoc command becomes available or unavailable between the check (command -v pandoc) and the use (pandoc …). It’s better to try running pandoc directly, and handle a “command not found” error after it happens, than trying to predict whether it will be found or not (which does not guarantee that it will still be found when we try to actually run it).

@lucaswerkmeister: Can you explain that? I like to know why that is.

lucaswerkmeister commented on 2020-12-13 13:46 (UTC)

@willemw: No, that’s a TOCTOU race condition.

@lucaswerkmeister: Instead of the "# try to build the manpage ..." section, you could do:

command -v pandoc > /dev/null && pandoc -s -f markdown -t man mkosi.md -o mkosi.1

@lucaswerkmeister: or remove 'pandoc' from 'makedepends' and add a comment or a (colored) build message that it is an optional autodetected make dependency. Then we can run 'make -si' or an AUR helper as usual and are not forced to run 'makepkg --nodeps' separately (which could break the build).

@jshap I’ve updated the build script so it handles missing pandoc without failing. There’s no way to mark the dependency as optional as far as I’m aware, but you should be able to build a manpage-less version of the package with makepkg -d now.

@jshap70 I’m really not a fan of separate documentation packages – I find them very annoying in Debian, and I have the impression they’re much less widespread in Arch.

Making it optional in the build sounds more acceptable to me – declare pandoc as an optional dependency and change the build script so it doesn’t fail if the manpage can’t be built. Still not convinced it’s necessary, though, to be honest.

can we talk about maybe removing that manpage? or making it optional in the build? In all, pandoc and it's haskell-deps is 417.21 MiB of extra requirements, which pretty annoying for something which by definition is just "a fancy wrapper around... pacstrap".

Maybe we can split it out into a mkosi-docs-git package?
