[Buildroot] [PATCH] package/mender: make xz optional

[Yann E. MORIN]

Adam, All,

On 2021-04-01 08:44 -0700, Adam Duskett spake thusly:
> According to the README.md file, xz is optional.
>   - Remove the dependency on the xz package.
>   - If the xz package is not selected, add "nolzma" to MENDER_TAGS

FOO_TAGS is supposed to be a comma-separated list (but see later):

    https://golang.org/cmd/go/#hdr-Compile_packages_and_dependencies

    -tags tag,list
    a comma-separated list of build tags to consider satisfied during the
    build. For more information about build tags, see the description of
    build constraints in the documentation for the go/build package.
    (Earlier versions of Go used a space-separated list, and that form
    is deprecated but still recognized.)

However, the += assignment operator in Makefile will create a
space-separated list. So when we have neither xz nor dbus, we'll
get:
    MENDER_TAGS=nolzma nodbus

which is pased -as-is to the go build command:

    https://git.buildroot.org/buildroot/tree/package/pkg-golang.mk#n45

    $(2)_BUILD_OPTS += \
        -ldflags "$$($(2)_LDFLAGS)" \
        -tags "$$($(2)_TAGS)" \
        -trimpath \
        -p $(PARALLEL_JOBS)

So, even though the space-separated list is still supported, we should
switch over to the comma-separated list.

Either we require that packages do provide such a comma-seprated list,
or we do it in the infra, with something along those lines:

    diff --git a/package/pkg-golang.mk b/package/pkg-golang.mk
    index d07242310d..bfa1a9e9ce 100644
    --- a/package/pkg-golang.mk
    +++ b/package/pkg-golang.mk
    @@ -42,7 +42,7 @@ define inner-golang-package
     
     $(2)_BUILD_OPTS += \
     	-ldflags "$$($(2)_LDFLAGS)" \
    -	-tags "$$($(2)_TAGS)" \
    +	-tags "$$(subst $(space),$(comma),$$(strip $$($(2)_TAGS)))" \
     	-trimpath \
     	-p $(PARALLEL_JOBS)
     

Note that we still need to quote, in case there is no tag, and we need
to strip in case FOO_TAGS contains expansions itself, like
    FOO_TAGS = $(FOO_TAG_BLARK_MAYBE) $(FOO_TAG_MEH_MOSTLY)

Care to look further into that, please?

Yann E. MORIN.
