Error during evebox installation

smutje1179 · August 1, 2019, 11:56am

Hello

We( @m.traeumner and me ) tried to install the IPS-package in the software center which fails with an error during evebox installation.

We tried to install the evebox-package manually and we get the following error:

Error: Package: nethserver-evebox-1.2.0-1.ns7.noarch (nethserver-updates)
           Requires: evebox >= 0.10.2
           Available: evebox-0.9.1-1.fc27.armv7hl (nethserver-base)
               evebox = 0.9.1-1.fc27

The version in the status dashboard says the following :

System Version  NethServer release 7.6.1810 (final)

Kernel  3.10.108-BPI-M2U-Kernel

We suspect that the wrong version of the evebox package is in the repository…

If more information is needed, please tell us…

Greetings

Björn

EDIT:
We need this for a Banana PI ARM environment (Banana PI M2U, 2GB RAM )

EDIT 01.08.2019
A link for downloading a version to test is at message 19 from @davidep:

@support_team
Can somebody confirm it?
Is the problem based on arm package?

Well…

Seems that Evebox 0.10.2 has not yet compiled for armv7…

dnutan · July 9, 2019, 8:28pm

Yes, the latest evebox version for arm is not on the repos. I think Michael is right on the spot about compilation.

m.traeumner · July 10, 2019, 8:57am

OK, we will try to compile it. Can somebody explain how to add it to the repo? A PR at GitHub?

Thanks Michael

davidep · July 10, 2019, 9:09am

I can upload it for you, or grant you upload access

m.traeumner · July 10, 2019, 10:35am

Thanks, we send you a message if we have built it.

@smutje1179, @m.traeumner, thank you for sending me the RPM

Before uploading it to nethserver-testing, please help me to check the following information: /cc @dz00te @giacomo

The Release is missing the repo suffix (e.g .ns7): shouldn’t harm but for the final release I prefer to see it, expecially in the file name (i.e. evebox-0.10.2-1.ns7.armsomething.rpm). To fix it, just edit the .spec file and set the Release to 1.ns7. RPM packages conventions make use of the dist macro: see this example.
The file name arch is armv7l and differs from the Architecture: armv7hnl tag: is it an issue?

Note: when an armv7hl arch package is uploaded it ends up in armhfp/ repository automatically.

Hello Davide !

I’ve finally managed to upload a rpm file to your cloud !

I hope nothing is going to explode with this rpm

If you didn’t get a file : Write me a note ! Then i will try again to upload it !

Greetings

Björn

PS : Thanks to all who have supported me !

smutje1179 · August 1, 2019, 11:36am

Hello Davide !

I’ve uploaded one rpm which is hopefully better!

I’ve a question: the arch is armv7hnl, should it go under armhfp?

smutje1179 · August 1, 2019, 7:15pm

Hello Davide !

Yes, i think so. Do i have to change it in the spec of the rpm?

Greetings

davidep · August 1, 2019, 11:36am

I don’t know what is the correct value By now we have a armv7hl => armhfp rule (missing n)

Is the “n” just a typo? https://stackoverflow.com/questions/29166619/differences-between-arm-versions-armv7-only#29167402

smutje1179 · August 1, 2019, 11:36am

Hello Davide

I’ve tried to figure out what this name “armv7hnl” means without any results.

I think this is a valid architecture description because i’ve found on some places the same name (e.g. openmandriva uses the same…).

The problem is that i can not tell you the difference between an “armv7hnl” and a “armv7l” or even if they are compatible to each other…

Greetings

Björn

giacomo · August 1, 2019, 11:36am

I think the “n” just mean “neon” with an advanced instruction set.
See this patch and wikipedia.

I’d say yes.

davidep · August 1, 2019, 11:36am

Thank you for your feedback! I’m changing the repository arch rules to match armhfp in a smarter way

@giacomo you’re going to review it

davidep · August 1, 2019, 11:36am

The package is now available from nethserver-testing!

http://packages.nethserver.org/nethserver/7.6.1810/testing/armhfp/Packages/evebox-0.10.2-1.ns7.armv7l.rpm

m.traeumner · August 1, 2019, 6:55pm

Installed with

yum install enablerepo=nethserver-testing evebox

Installation works fine but I could choose it for installation at softwarecenter anymore.

m.traeumner · August 27, 2019, 9:58am

@dev_team Is this a normal behaviour

@arm_team Did somebody else tested it? Would be nice if it’s implemented.
