Subject: apt-show-versions: shows "foo:all not installed" for packages that transitioned from arch any to arch all

Date: Thu, 30 Apr 2015 08:27:20 +0800

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Package: apt-show-versions
Version: 0.22.7
Severity: normal

The packages apertium-en-es, proj-data and wml have transitioned from
Architecture: any in unstable to Architecture: all in experimental. I
have the unstable versions installed but not the experimental ones and
apt-show-versions shows "foo:all not installed" for all of them. This is
confusing since apt-show-versions is meant to only show installed stuff.

apertium-en-es:all not installed
apertium-en-es:amd64/testing 0.6.0-1.1+b2 uptodate
proj-data:all not installed
proj-data:amd64/testing 4.8.0-5 uptodate
wml:all not installed

It seems like this is deliberate in the code, yet it's totally unclear
to me why it's happening. The following patch, of course, fixes the
problem:

diff --git i/apt-show-versions w/apt-show-versions
index 3df13c7..ab1f91c 100755
--- i/apt-show-versions
+++ w/apt-show-versions
@@ -513,7 +513,7 @@ sub print_package_internal {
                      "version in archive\n");
             }
         }
-    } else {
+    } elsif ($ipkg->{$VERS}) {
         push(@print_info, "$pkgarch not installed",
              ($mode == $MODE_SINGLE and not keys(%{$apackages->{$package}{$arch}}))
             ? " (even not available)\n" : "\n");

But it's not clear to me what the proper solution is or what the purpose
of this 'not installed' statement is... That code has been present
basically forever (since the 2007, 0.10 original git import) without any
clear explanation.

Another alternative would be to just remove that code completely, since
it's unclear what purpose it serves. This is basically what the above
does anyways.

Other opinions?

snapshot goes back to 0.03 and the code is slightly different there but
there is also a not installed statement.

https://snapshot.debian.org/package/apt-show-versions/

BTW Christoph, when this package moves to salsa it would be nice to
import those versions so people could use grafts to view the history.

It is on salsa for about half a year now.

Do you have a documentation how to include these snapshots into the git
history?

Ah, I was mislead by the Homepage pointing to Alioth.

Preparation:

cd apt-show-versions/
debsnap --force --destdir .. --last 0.09 apt-show-versions
git checkout --orphan archive
git rm -rf .

Repeat imports for each version:

for version in 0.03 0.07 0.08 0.09 ; do
   git ls-files -z | xargs -0 rm -- -f
   dpkg-source -x ../apt-show-versions_$version.dsc extract
   find extract/ -mindepth 1 -maxdepth 1 -print0 | xargs -0 mv -t .
   rmdir extract
   git add .
   git commit --date "$(dpkg-parsechangelog -S Date)" --author "$(dpkg-parsechangelog -S Maintainer)" -a -m "Import apt-show-version $version" -m "Imported-from: https://snapshot.debian.org/package/apt-show-versions/$version/"
   GIT_AUTHOR_DATE="$(dpkg-parsechangelog -S Date)" git tag -s $version -m "Import apt-show-version $version" -m "Imported-from: https://snapshot.debian.org/package/apt-show-versions/$version/"
done

Add the graft:

git replace --graft release-0.10^ 0.09^{}

https://mirrors.edge.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/git-replace.html
https://mirrors.edge.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/git-rev-parse.html

Finalise:

gitk --all
git push

I should change that.

Thanks for your howto. I just pushed the rebuild git history. I even
could include the missing versions in between backup to version 0.01 .
