[ITP] rpcbind 0.2.1

 Hello!
 I  have  completed rpcbind package and would like to offer it for the
upload.
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/ah2v9q1we8wl1oe/AACHiGJcCp6-oBrL2KEn7E7Wa?dl=0
 The same as onc-rpc-devel, this is x86-64-only for now.

Packaging looks good, basically, but the executables are in /usr/bin,
while on Linux they are in /usr/sbin.  Would you mind to move them?

Btw., can you give a quick overview what's going to happen with the
still missing executables from the old sunrpc package. /usr/sbin/portmap
and /usr/bin/rstat?  You probably explained that already at one point
but I seem to have missed that :}


Thanks,
Corinna

 No, i don't mind. I will.

 portmap is now rpcbind and rstat is now rpcinfo.
 rpcbind  is a new portmapper, designed with capabilities of TI-RPC in
mind. Old portmap doesn't live quite well with it. So the whole sunrpc
is completely obsolete.

 Hello!

 I have updated the package. UID check is still #ifdef'ed out because Yaakov's library is not released yet. Additionally, i believe that some additional code is perhaps a good solution for large complex projects, but this one is too simple.

Comments follow.

> OBSOLETES="sunrpc"

I'm wondering if onc-rpc-devel (which I'm starting to think should just 
be called rpcgen) shouldn't obsolete sunrpc too instead of this.  It's a 
bit of a tough call because there is some overlap here.

> SRC_URI="http://sourceforge.net/projects/rpcbind/files/rpcbind/0.2.1/rpcbind-0.2.1.tar.bz2"

This should be:

SRC_URI="mirror://sourceforge/rpcbind/rpcbind-${VERSION}.tar.bz2"

These are in /usr/sbin on Fedora, so in this particular case:

cyginstall bindir=/usr/sbin

Perhaps this is a candidate for using Daniel Boland's code?

This is just a whitespace difference, I suggest you leave it out of your 
patch to ease future porting.

 I  went  for  a  new name because rpcgen was just rpcgen, and the new
package is rpcgen + includes.
 Actually  initially  i  didn't  want to touch rpcgen at all, and just
make  onc-rpc-headers, however after that i thought that both packages
are  quite small, so it makes sense to merge them. After all, .x files
are  useless  without  rpcgen  and  vice  versa. And both are used for
development only.

>   It's a bit of a tough call because there is some overlap here.

 Original  sunrpc  package  consists  of  these  includes and portmap.
onc-rpc-devel now has includes, and rpcbind is a new portmap. So, as a
result, none of two new packages alone completely obsoletes sunrpc, but both
of them do. How to specify this ?

 As to the rest of notes, i'll fix that.

 By  the  way,  i  just have noticed that Cygwin actually doesn't have
/usr/sbin.  At  least  we  don't  have it in $PATH by default. For the
service  it's  okay, anyway we run it using cygrunsrv, but for rpcinfo
this would be inconvenient.

That's a generic installation problem, not a problem of your package.

We can (and maybe should) consider to add /usr/sbin to $PATH by default
in /etc/profile, but that's a discussion concerning the base-files
package in the first place.

 Yes,  may  be,  however  this doesn't give any answer to: how will we
solve this particular problem right now ? There are variants:
1. I leave rpcinfo in /usr/bin
2. You (or maintainer ?) update base-files.
 So ?

3. You put it into /usr/sbin independently of the state of base-files.

I don't see a blocking problem here.

Only root should have it in PATH otherwise you could just install
everything in /usr/bin and forget about it – which gets us back to the
problem of who gets to call himself root in Cygwin.  BTW, /sbin and
/usr/sbin are currently separate – sysvinit and procps are the only
packages that install files into /sbin, though.

Procps only for sysctl, and sysctl is not working on Cygwin anyway.
I'll create a new procps package which omits sysctl entirely.

As for sysvinit (and potential others), I'm not exactly keen to add
another hardcoded mount /usr/sbin -> /sbin or some such.  Perhaps
we should simply disregard /sbin and see to it that no new package
installs anything into it.

Great, thank you.

OK, it is currently an outlier anyway.  What does one use sysvinit for
with cygwin I might ask?

Now back to the other question: do we want or need to provide some
standard / sanctioned notion of user root or group wheel?  I still have
those feature requests against base-files to change the shell prompt for
users in group 544 to "#".  It'd be easy enough to keep the result in a
variable for other uses.  on the other hand I didn't want to do it in
/etc/profile so far, but if it becomes standard fare that might be
necessary.

I have no idea.

We won't invent anything like that.  It will only make sense with
passwd and group files and those are going away in the long run.

That's fine, but everything beyond that is strictly local setup.

I'll implement it in profile.d then and everybody who needs it will have
to pick it up from there.  I can include the addition of /usr/sbin
either together with setting the prompt or as another optional drop-in.

Looks good.  Btw., I think ou can drop this piece of your cygport file:

  src_install () {
	  cd ${B}
	  cyginstall
  }

This is the default behaviour when running

  cygport rpcbind.cygport install

But it also doesn't hurt, so GTG.
