unbundling

[Alessandro-Barbieri]

Please provide a way to unbundle folly, fbthrift, fsst and parallel-hashmap. I'm packaging this for gentoo and I'll really appreciate

Hi @Alessandro-Barbieri,

Are you aware of https://gpo.zugaina.org/Overlays/guru/sys-fs/dwarfs? This is maintained by @RarogCmex.

What's your plan for the dependencies? Are you planning to maintain folly, fbthrift, etc as separate ebuilds?

I can definitely support external versions for all these libraries, similar to zstd & xxHash. Is that what you're looking for?

[RarogCmex]

Good daytime all!
At this moment I experienced some…well, adventures with russian military enlistment office, so I can't make that ebuilds this time. I even think about the resign my maintainership.
However, @Alessandro-Barbieri , if you do that, I'll send you my applauses :)

[Alessandro-Barbieri]

I've already made all the ebuilds for the dependencies except for parallel-hashmap (soon I'll make one for that)

[Alessandro-Barbieri]

Now on guru there are

• folly (with exception_tracer)
• fbthrift
• wangle
• parallel_hashmap
• fizz

Yes

Good day everyone!
What is current status of unbundling in 0.6.1?
@Alessandro-Barbieri Could you update your patchset?

I've just pushed an unbundling branch. This has new options PREFER_SYSTEM_PARALLEL_HASHMAP and PREFER_SYSTEM_FOLLY.

There's no PREFER_SYSTEM_FBTHRIFT yet, because I'd like to get the other stuff working before tackling thrift. The current issues are that dev-cpp/folly is too old for thrift to build. I just made my own folly ebuild for 2022.06.06.00 and with that, I can compile dwarfs. However, linking currently fails because folly's folly-config.cmake introduces a linker dependency on gflags_shared.

Please feel free to investigate further based on this branch.

[Alessandro-Barbieri]

Could you share that ebuild?

(TBH, I think I just renamed the file that's in the package index, so "my own ebuild" was probably a bit exaggerated.)

Is there anything left to do here? I'm closing this for now, please feel free to reopen if this isn't done yet.
