oniguruma dependency broken

[paulmakepeace]

An FYI for anyone else running into this,

==> Installing dependencies for jq: oniguruma
==> Installing jq dependency: oniguruma
==> Downloading http://www.geocities.jp/kosako3/oniguruma/archive/onig-5.9.6.tar.gz

curl: (22) The requested URL returned error: 403 Forbidden
Error: Failed to download resource "oniguruma"
Download failed: http://www.geocities.jp/kosako3/oniguruma/archive/onig-5.9.6.tar.gz

Which apparently translates to,

Yeah, we're aware. We're probably going to include the tarball in the jq repo. Or perhaps we should have a jq-dependencies repo (which would require attention from @stedolan). Or perhaps we'll find a sufficiently-official (for some definition of that) successor of Oniguruma that we can use instead (it seems Onigmo would be it). We'll see.

I'd be fine with moving to Onigmo, if there wasn't a lack of a presence in
system package managers. That's my primary concern with the switch.

@wtlangford Can you look into whether it's backward compatible? Do you want to take this issue?

[wtlangford]

Yeah, I've got some extra time this weekend so I'll pick it up

I can confirm tweaking the url in /usr/local/Library/Formula/oniguruma.rb to https://web.archive.org/web/20150803013327/http://www.geocities.jp/kosako3/oniguruma/archive/onig-5.9.6.tar.gz and re-running brew install jq worked.

Thanks all!

Hi, Oniguruma just moved to GitHub, see kkos/oniguruma.

Edit: Tagged v5.9.6, available from https://github.com/kkos/oniguruma/archive/v5.9.6.tar.gz.

[nicowilliams]

@elad: Well, there are several Onigurumas in github. Which one, if any, is canonical (for some value of canonical)?

[elad]

@nicowilliams the one I just pointed you at :) it's by the actual author, K. Kosako (@kkos).

I emailed him in July about moving it to GitHub so it's not just a tarball on geocities and he kindly agreed. That's why the geocities site is down (kkos/oniguruma@0b58ff7).

[nicowilliams]

@elad Aha. It would have been nice if @kkos had left some evidence of this move in the old geocities site :( Still, we can check that the 5.9.6 tag on gh matches the 5.9.6 tarball from the web archive of the old geocities site and go from there. Thanks for the tip.

[elad]

If you want to verify project authenticity, the best way would be to email @kkos.

I don't know if the tag matches the old archive, I just added it myself. One of the reasons for the move to GitHub is that development history was not available before that, so I don't know at what point the archive that was on geocities was created.

Here is a "diff" of the "old" (onig-5.9.6) and "new" (oniguruma-master at github) repositories. The files that differ only differ insubstantially (e.g. a new email address).

$ diff -rq onig-5.9.6 oniguruma-master
Only in oniguruma-master: .gitignore
Files onig-5.9.6/AUTHORS and oniguruma-master/AUTHORS differ

[kmaehashi]

@kkos's blog article, which was linked from the oniguruma web site, mentions his GitHub account https://github.com/kkos/. So I believe that https://github.com/kkos/oniguruma is a genuine repository for Oniguruma.

[elad]

This has been fixed in Homebrew/legacy-homebrew@5eed615

[nicowilliams]

Thanks @elad and @DomT4!

[dtolnay]

Seems like this has been resolved by #937 and Homebrew/legacy-homebrew#43699.
