>Description:
pkg_add given a package name with only a dewey wildcard (say php<5)
works as expected, but given a dewey wildcard plus a suffix
(say php<5.tgz) does it can misbehave and match a package that does
not satisfy the dewey condition.
The C code in pkgtools/pkg_install/files/lib/str.c and ftpio.c
is clearly intended to correctly handle the combination of a dewey
condition and a suffix. The function strip_txz is provided in str.c
to isolate the suffix, and findmatchingname explicitly uses it to
set the suffix aside temporarily, then match the dewey condition and
the wildcard separately:
/* chop any possible suffix off of 'pattern' and
* store it in pat_sfx
*/
strip_txz(tmp_pattern, pat_sfx, pattern);
while ((dp = readdir(dirp)) != (struct dirent *) NULL) {
char tmp_file[MaxPathSize];
if (strcmp(dp->d_name, ".") == 0 ||
strcmp(dp->d_name, "..") == 0)
continue;
/* chop any possible suffix off of 'tmp_file' and
* store it in file_sfx
*/
strip_txz(tmp_file, file_sfx, dp->d_name);
/* we need to match pattern and suffix separately, in case
* each is a different pattern class (e.g. dewey and
* character class (.t[bg]z)) */
if (pmatch(tmp_pattern, tmp_file)
&& (pat_sfx[0] == '\0' || pmatch(pat_sfx, file_sfx))) {
if (match) {
match(dp->d_name, data);
/* return value ignored for now */
}
found = 1;
}
}
For ftp urls, the analogous code is around line 724 of ftpio.c.
Although clearly intended to handle the combination of a dewey
condition followed by a suffix, the code is failing somewhere.
If this proved very difficult to fix, it could be turned into a doc
bug and package wildcards could be documented as not supporting a
following suffix. But as the code appears to be mostly there and was
intended to work, it is probably worth fixing.
>How-To-Repeat:
PKG_PATH=ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/packages/2.0/i386/All \
pkg_add 'php<5'
correctly installs php-4.4.1nb2, but
PKG_PATH=ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/packages/2.0/i386/All \
pkg_add 'php<5.tgz'
installs php-5.0.5 (contrary to the dewey wildcard).
