Hi all I got stuck in a timesink today trying to update our gcc-tarball repo. I don't have time to fix these issues but I will write them up here for posterity. Firstly, the GCC 7.2 tarball from https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gcc/gcc-7.2.0/ doesn't import correctly with Lorry's `lorry.tar-importer` script, nor with the `contrib/fast-import/import-tars.perl` script from Git that it is based on. The script fails with an error like this: fatal: Unsupported command: // any later version. fast-import: dumping crash report to fast_import_crash_10201 The exact message varies, but the issue seems to be that it's sending source code as `git fast-import` commands, causing `git fast-import` to raise an error. GCC publish checksums for their release tarballs and I have verified that the file didn't get corrupted during transmission. There `tar -t` command doesn't report any issue with the tarball and `tar -x` can successfully extract everything. To add to the fun, Lorry fails to recognise that the import failed. I have narrowed this down to what looks like a Python 2 bug. If I run the tarball import command in my shell or using subprocess.Popen from Python 3, I get a non-zero exit code. However if I run it using subprocess.Popen from Python 2, I get a returncode of 0. I don't have time to dig further into either of these problems, so instead I've manually pushed a gcc-7.2.0 tag to our delta/gcc-tarball repo. Sam Sam Thursfield, Codethink Ltd.
