poudriere and Nonexistent origin

[Gerard E. Seibert]

FreeBSD 14.3-p8

I attempted to build the following list of ports using poudriere. All entries are specified in a configuration file accessible to poudriere.

However, poudriere terminates with the error message "Nonexistent origin listed:" as shown below.

I am able to build these ports individually without issue, which raises questions about why the build process fails when they are combined.

[Daniel Lysfjord]

The '<' on the end there doesn't look too good?

That is what I thought too, however, it only occurs with those three
ports. This is how I build the list.

/usr/sbin/pkg version -voPL= | awk '{print $1}' | tee "$PortList"

[Herbert J. Skuhra]

Yes, the pkg origin of some ports is simply too long. This is not a
poudriere issue, maybe a pkg-version issue.

- Manually fix the list before passing it to poudriere
or
- add sed to remove the extra "<" (before tee command) [1]
or
- use "<" as the field seperator for awk [2]

[1] sed -e 's/<//g'
[2] awk -F "<" '{print $1}'

[Edward Sanford Sutton, III]

I assume its a bug in pkg as I doubt they meant to separate the
package name and the comparative status with 'zero' or more characters.
Passing that truncated list to poudriere will have poudriere rebuild
the out of date ports and any ports between an updated dependency and an
updated dependent will be rebuild as it determines but you will be
skipping rebuilding all other dependent ports that did not appear in the
list or as something inbetween ones on the list. Port maintainers will
try to bump the version of dependent ports but being human and detecting
all dependent ports being complicated can lead to issues with that. If
you change any options that add more dependencies then those are ports
that are likely to accidentally not get version bumped.
If you pass poudriere the list of installed ports then it will likely
rebuild more than what is needed but as a result should always rebuild
even these missed version bump cases.
