WinRPM does not install on 0.5.0_ (Win64)

[PaulSoderlind]

Hi,
I am trying to prepare for 0.5.0, so I gave WinRPM a try (actually, to get HDF5 working) on 0.5.0-dev+4402 (Win64).

The required packages seem to install fine, but on trying to install WInRPM it hangs with the warning message below. Thanks in advance for having a look at it. /Paul S

AFAICT the deprecation warning needs to be fixed in LibExpat.jl. Could you file an issue there?

That said, it shouldn't cause a hang, so maybe something else is going on.

Can you give me a hint on how to narrow down the problem? (To see where in the process is hangs?) Some useful commands? /Paul S

Try something like

using URIParser, LibExpat, WinRPM, Compat
xml = xp_parse(readstring(joinpath(WinRPM.getcachedir(WinRPM.sources[1]),escape("repodata/repomd.xml"))))

[PaulSoderlind]

Try something like
using URIParser, LibExpat, WinRPM, Compat

WinRPM refuses to build (same as before). Anything earlier in this chain?

[tkelman]

using URIParser, LibExpat, Compat
xml = xp_parse(readstring(joinpath(Pkg.dir("WinRPM", "cache", "1", escape("repodata/repomd.xml")))))

[PaulSoderlind]

Seems to work (or?). Apart from deprecation warnings, it finishes with

7b982d4f496bdacd728c607fccfd34e605551dc150c332897a3115ca5c80256c 960fbb5f7eb58070c206a19b9df3e171b2e0e07261e849c0aa95f3bd97114495 1464610018 369284 3367104

sorry, that's not how it looked like when I typed it in. Basically, it ends with a block like
"data type="primary"....
and closes with
repomd

[tkelman]

Best to surround code snippets with triple backticks so github doesn't think xml is html.

Try adding a @show data and @show pkg at the start of the for-loops here https://github.com/JuliaLang/WinRPM.jl/blob/36daa0c596322563b8b00bac84b3eb0f508dba65/src/WinRPM.jl#L155-L163 then see if it's actually making progress. It might just be really slow.

[PaulSoderlind]

Thanks. You are right. It works hard - and is done after 20 minutes. Same thing happens when I just say using WinRPM (it also takes 20 minutes). In either case, it ends with

Deprecation warnings cause an important slowdown, so maybe that's the explanation.
