Adacurses (Synth build dep) fails to build

[carrossos]

Hello,

On one of my servers, trying to build adacurses from ports (as one of the build deps of synth) fails.

However, I cannot figure out what's wrong as it's not the compilation that fails but rather packaging that seems to miss some files but without clear errors beforehand:

===>  Building packages for adacurses-20211021_1
===>   Building adacurses-20211021_1
pkg-static: Unable to access file /construction/xports/devel/adacurses/work/stage/usr/local/include/adacurses/terminal_interface-curses-aux.adb:No such file or directory
pkg-static: Unable to access file /construction/xports/devel/adacurses/work/stage/usr/local/include/adacurses/terminal_interface-curses-aux.ads:No such file or directory

Any ideas on what could be the cause? I did see that ada compiler (gcc-aux or gnat) went deprecated but it seems now it should be fine?

I dis-advise using ada on freebsd. With linux you have ada-studio.

It's what I had gotten, but it means I ought to stop using synth? And move to poudriere?

It failed for a long time because misc/ini_file_manager was broken. That seems to have been fixed recently. devel/adacurses seems to build fine on the build clusters: https://portsfallout.com/fallout?port=devel/adacurses$

Thanks, I tried and got misc/ini_file_manager to rebuild, but adacurses failed again.

Looking at the fallout logs, I do see back in March the build cluster had the exact same issue. Are the build logs (when successful) somehow available somewhere? I could try to compare them to see why I still have the issue.

Yes, but it's a bit of a pain to find. And you'll need IPv6: https://pkg-status.freebsd.org
