lcov: update to 2.5. by dora-meowmeow · Pull Request #61482 · void-linux/void-packages

dora-meowmeow · 2026-07-14T17:24:26Z

Testing the changes

I tested the changes in this PR: YES

I tested this by running coverage test on my game engine's test projects. Everything seemed sane from my tests. The tests were done with C++23.

I also removed the patches, as they are no longer relevant. I have checked if other distributions like debian or arch patch lcov, but from what I can tell they don't patch anything either.

New package

This new package conforms to the package requirements: YES

New package perl-Devel-Cover was necessary as it is a dependency (see)

~~However, according to linux-test-project/lcov#370 (comment), Memory::Process is not a hard dependency. Debian and Gentoo seems to skip this package, so I skipped adding it as well.~~

UPDATE:

I decided for sake of passing 3 other tests I added Memory::Process and Memory::Usage (it is it's own dependency). From my testing it is really not necessary. I'll let the maintainers decide if it should stay or not.

Local build testing

I built this PR locally for my native architecture, (x86_64-glibc)
I built this PR locally for these architectures (if supported. mark crossbuilds):

I am not 100% sure regarding the licenses. Perl does licensing very weirdly. I might have messed up.

dora-meowmeow · 2026-07-14T17:40:35Z

~~checks depend on Date::Parse which isn't on void repo... sigh I'll be back.~~
according to cpan it is in perl-TimeDate package (see)

For the p4 issue, I think it is regarding p4 itself being installed Attempt to call undefined import method with arguments ("new") via package "p4annotate" (Perhaps you forgot to load the package?) at /builddir/lcov-2.5/scripts/p4annotate line 38.. Void linux does not have p4 as a package or perl. From what I am seeing if p4 is missing lcov uses git on most of its tests. So I believe this can be safely ignored.

Coverage.sh seems to be an issue regarding lcov: Error: lcov --to-package failed (rc=1) the logs don't give me enough to work with. Reading the script itself, it once again seems like an issue with lcov (see)

script.sh issue seems to be several, however I can't really put my finger on what would be the solution. Void Linux repo does not have DateTime::Format::W3CDTF in a package and I did not want to add it just for a test. Other than that I cannot tell what is missing for this test to fail.
