WIP to add devel/libgusb, which is a dependency for sysutils/fwupd

Current blocker for this port is that it requires libusb1 >= 1.0.19, but reports that we have 1.0.13 on 12.2

Apply patches from https://github.com/hughsie/libgusb/pull/10 e.g.:

Hi Norbert and Piotr,

Glad to see you here and thanks for your work on the FreeBSD port of fwupd. Norbert, I tentatively added you as a maintainer for the missing sysutil/fwupd dependencies. Please let me know if that's something you're not interested in and I'll change that.

Joe

Done. Thanks for the heads-up.

Bump dependent ports

Pushed to the wrong revision. Will fix this momentarily.

Thank you all for your amazing work. Currently, the fwupd patches have been merged into main repository.
I have created the update diff, but I am not able to attach the changes to this revision. Should I create the new one,
or is it some permission related problem? I followed this documentation:
https://wiki.freebsd.org/Phabricator#Create_a_Revision_via_Web_Interface ("To submit an updated patch")

You can only upload a new diff if you are listed as the author; you can 'Commandeer' the review first, then upload the diff.

Hi Norbert,

After my last update, the fwupd build was completing.

After these changes there are errors:

../libfwupd/fwupd-common.c:1062:7: warning: implicit declaration of function 'memfd_create' is invalid in C99 [-Wimplicit-function-declaration]
        fd = memfd_create ("fwupd", MFD_CLOEXEC);
             ^
../libfwupd/fwupd-common.c:1062:30: error: use of undeclared identifier 'MFD_CLOEXEC'
        fd = memfd_create ("fwupd", MFD_CLOEXEC);
                                    ^

One caveat is that I first tested this in a 12.2 jail, but have since upgrade to 13.0 on the build host. There is a regression related to the switch to OpenZFS in 13.0 that is causing the 12.2 jail to crash, so I can only test on 13.0 at the moment. Unless you can beat me to it, I'll try to look at the cause of the error, but it may take me some time. Looks like it might be a missing #include.

Hi Joseph,

Problem has been fixed in the fwupd tree. Also most of the dependencies patches are upstreamed.
There is one patch needed to fix Python version to the 3.8. By default meson is looking for modules
for the 3.7, but py-object3 which is needed for fwupd is built and installed for python3.8.

Best regards,
Norbert Kamiński

Hi Norbert,

I tested the latest updates. The devel/libefiboot port that you added fails to build. http://pkg.awarnach.mathstat.dal.ca/data/13amd64-default/2021-06-03_21h36m23s/logs/errors/libefiboot-0.24_1.log It also looks to be the same repository as a port that is already in the tree, devel/efivar. They both use GH_ACCOUNT=rhboot and GH_PROJECT=efivar. Is the only difference between the two that you pulled in a newer version? If so, could you just update devel/efivar? If we should be pulling in the latest commit, which is long after the last release, we can do this:

PORTNAME=	efivar
DISTVERSION=	37-96
DISTVERSIONSUFFIX=	-gcff88dd
CATEGORIES=	devel

I just try to get an idea of the current status and what is needed to test fwupd and get this into the portstree.
So if anyone knows any details about the status (especially about runtime behavior) please share it.

This is a list of open issues I already identified:

• devel/libefiboot: merge with existing devel/efivar, update to 38 + patches
• sysutils/fwupd: update from 1.6.1 to 1.9.6
• sysutils/fwupd-efi: update from 1.0 to 1.4
• textproc/libjcat: update from 0.1.8 to 0.1.14
• Portstree updates since 2021 like WWW, USES etc.
• portlint

The following ports are not needed anymore (already exist):

• devel/libgusb: port already at 0.3.10
• textproc/libxmlb: port already at 0.3.14

I worked a bit on this to bring the ports to recent versions and fix the comments.

The dependencies are almost ready:

• textproc/libjcat: Updated to 0.2.1
• sysutils/fwupd-efi: Update to 1.5

This leaves us with the main ports devel/libefiboot and sysutils/fwupd but I have a week of hacking ahead in Dublin
so if anyone is interested to team up let me know!

Code is in my repo and I will create a PR or call for testers when it's ready:
https://codeberg.org/decke/ports/src/branch/master

@Norbert Kaminski: Sorry that this stalled for such a long time! Do you still want to maintain these ports once they
are in the portstree or should we find someone from FreeBSD side?
