hi erik, i tried to install nupas with contrib today and it failed.
my root is from a fairly recent labs iso and, well, you can see the
source of the problem in the file dates:

kolari% ls -lp /386/bin/upas/fs
--rwxrwxr-x M 8 glenda adm 345302 Apr  7 20:32 fs
kolari% ls -lp /n/sources/contrib/quanstro/root/386/bin/upas/fs
--rwxrwxr-x M 63 quanstro sys 400215 Jan  5 13:55 fs

most of the nupas files; source, binary and other, failed to install
with the message "locally created; will not update". i guess you need
to touch nupas files and rebuild the package.

i'd suggest moving /386/bin/upas and /sys/src/cmd/upas out of the way and trying
again.  there will still be some conflicts in /mail/lib, but those should be managable.

to clarify, sources can be rebuilt at any time so touching
files and pushing the contrib package will only serve to
obfuscate when the files were actually last changed.  it won't
prevent the nupas contrib package from "breaking" again.

sorry for the inconvienence.  i don't know of a better way.
it would be nice if applylog had an option to always resolve
conflicts in favor of the server.

True that. I thought of suggesting a cron job to poll sources & rebuild when necessary, but it still obfuscates what changed and that doesn't feel right.

It would indeed. I looked at the -s option as per fgb's mail, but -s requires a filename implying each and every file needs to be specified I thought "blow this for a game of soldiers."

Anyway, a little naivety has caused me more problems but I won't go into details. If I just grab the nupas source and mk install, will the end result be sane?

yes.  but be careful, i'm pretty sure nupas depends on some changes
in /mail/lib.  why don't you do something like this

do one install to make sure missing directories are there.  ignore errors.
then

db =  /n/sources/contrib/quanstro/replica/nupas/db
args = `{cat $db | awk 'int($3/10000000000) != 2 {print "-s " $1}' }
replica/pull $args nupas

contrib(1) should have a way to pass -s to replica/pull

Re: [9fans] nupas contrib needs rebuilding

[Federico G. Benavento]

contrib/pull does

When most of the files in a package the size of nupas fail to install, a -s option isn't much of a solution. ;)
