PKG_SOURCE_URL and file:// location

2devnull · October 8, 2020, 2:14pm

Hello,
I am trying to build packages with a local tarball. Would the file:// protocol work for PKG_SOURCE_URL or was this support removed?

The error I'm getting is:
Wrong local cache directory -/builds/2devnull/openwrt-modemmanager-packages-.

This is what the Makefile has:

PKG_SOURCE:=ModemManager-$(PKG_VERSION).tar.xz
PKG_SOURCE_URL:=file:///builds/2devnull/openwrt-modemmanager-packages/
PKG_HASH:=97237b7d82b36c1218242e7c38506dc7b32bfc236be3d93bd74b13faba2612d1

I saw this document is using it:

And I also see this check here:

github.com

openwrt/openwrt/blob/c4beac9ea2e1b568d99800fce921eaf269c42361/scripts/download.pl#L99



my $hash_cmd = hash_cmd();
$hash_cmd or ($file_hash eq "skip") or die "Cannot find appropriate hash command, ensure the provided hash is either a MD5 or SHA256 checksum.\n";

sub download
{
	my $mirror = shift;

	$mirror =~ s!/$!!;

	if ($mirror =~ s!^file://!!) {
		if (! -d "$mirror") {
			print STDERR "Wrong local cache directory -$mirror-.\n";
			cleanup();
			return;
		}

		if (! -d "$target") {
			system("mkdir", "-p", "$target/");
		}

This doesn't look like an absolute path, so remove the leading slash, or specify the proper absolute path.

It should be absolute as it is what I see in the gitlab runner logs.

This fails when checking for directory existence:

github.com

openwrt/openwrt/blob/master/scripts/download.pl#L100-L101


      
          
          	# No tool found, fallback to wget

So, either the directory doesn't exist, or the path is wrong.

Yes, the path was incorrect as this is using Docker-in-Docker (DinD). Needed to place the tarballs in the bind mounts.

This path is now working:

PKG_SOURCE:=ModemManager-$(PKG_VERSION).tar.xz
PKG_SOURCE_URL:=file:///home/build/build_dir/dl/

Thanks for helping on this one.
