Version database consistency fixes 20240313

[WangWeiLin-MV]

In Manifest mode with builtin-baseline, some ports failed to install.
And there are some errors checked by vcpkg x-ci-verify-versions --verify-git-trees.

Changes

Port update

• [velodyne-decoder] Fix error with no version database entry

Version baseline

• [kd-soap] Remove non-existent ports in baseline.json (Renamed at [kd-soap] update to 2.2.0 and rename to kdsoap #36101)
• [opentelemetry-fluentd] Remove non-existent ports in baseline.json (Moved at [opentelemetry-cpp] upgrade to release v1.14.0 #36816)

Version database

• [septag-sx] Delete broken entries in version database for mismatched port names at version 2019-05-07 (Renamed at [septag-sx] Add new port #6327 and added version at [vcpkg] Add version files #15652)
• [theia] Reset theia@0.8#10 to synchronize the fixes and changes in ports/theia (Changed at 5db5459)
• [theia] Restore git-tree for theia@0.8#9
• [try-catcher] Remove non-existent versions that should not be added (Added at 8c91c8d)

Reference

Command vcpkg x-ci-verify-versions in microsoft/vcpkg-tool#1210.

Quotes from #34078

Under normal circumstances, things can't be removed from the version database, because that breaks outstanding references to those versions. However, these entries can't be parsed in the first place which means nobody can be depending on them being there.

In Manifest mode with builtin-baseline, 4 ports failed to install. May be related to microsoft/vcpkg-tool#1210

• [velodyne-decoder] Fix error with no version database entry

I agree

PS D:\vcpkg> D:\vcpkg-tool\out\build\Win-x64-Debug-WithArtifacts\vcpkg.exe x-ci-verify-versions --verify-git-trees
D:\vcpkg\ports\velodyne-decoder\vcpkg.json: error: the "version>=" constraint to yaml-cpp names version 0.7 which does not exist in the version database. All versions must exist in the version database to be interpreted by vcpkg.
D:\vcpkg\versions\y-\yaml-cpp.json: note: consider removing the version constraint or choosing a value declared here

• [alpaka] Fix version conflict on boost-predef

Can you explain what this means?

• [kd-soap] Remove non-existent ports in baseline.json (Renamed at [kd-soap] update to 2.2.0 and rename to kdsoap #36101)
• [opentelemetry-fluentd] Remove non-existent ports in baseline.json (Moved at [opentelemetry-cpp] upgrade to release v1.14.0 #36816)

👍 Maybe I should add this to ci-verify-versions...

Can you fix these while you're here?

• [alpaka] Fix version conflict on boost-predef

Can you explain what this means?

The boost versioning scheme has changed from version-string to version after 1.76.0 #17335, and in versioning constraint, version is not comparable to the previously.

error: version conflict on boost-predef:x64-windows: alpaka:x64-windows@1.1.0 required 1.74.0, which cannot be compared with the baseline version 1.84.0.

The versions have incomparable schemes:
  boost-predef@1.84.0 has scheme relaxed
  boost-predef@1.74.0 has scheme string

Here are the causes and fixes.

vcpkg\versions\s-\septag-sx.json: error: b9e21c1d4135ab98fcecc9970d8520afb9b39743 is declared to contain septag-sx@2019-04-27, but appears to contain sx@2019-04-27

At #6327 2019-05-07, port was added and be renamed from sx to septag-sx on ports/septag-sx/CONTROL, then added version at #15652 with old git-tree hash.

This is a broken entry to begin with, so deleted it.

vcpkg\versions\t-\theia.json: error: 244b1ee4928a23a5394691a642a1b56125198228 is declared to contain theia@0.8#10, but appears to contain theia@0.8#9

Port updated to 0.8#10 at 5db5459, but the port-version is not increased in theia/vcpkg.json, and git-tree incorrectly modified in history database for 0.8#9

Because there is no theia@0.8#10 in its history database. so, reset to re-update the entry of 0.8#10 to synchronize the fixes and changes in ports/theia,
And, restored git-tree hash in version history for 0.8#9.

---

vcpkg\versions\t-\try-catcher.json: error

The new port added an non-existent version entry at 8c91c8d, just delete it.

This is true, but it isn't a statement that alpaka needs to change. It just means that people who want aplaka and other things that care about boost version need to pick the one they want with an override.

This change as proposed blocks people who want to use Boost 1.74.

Thanks for the explanation, I will remove the changes to keep the constraint "version>=": "1.74.0"
https://github.com/alpaka-group/alpaka?tab=readme-ov-file#dependencies

Boost 1.74.0+ is the only mandatory external dependency.

Thank you! :D
