Hi, I'm considering building Audacity 2.1.0 to make available in EPEL
testing for EPEL5,6,7.
EPEL-7 builds with the current Fedora spec, after conditionalizing out
the package appdata improvements that are suitable for Fedora 22 and later.
EPEL-6 build current fails due to missing build requires:
DEBUG util.py:388: Error: No Package found for portaudio-devel >= 19-16
DEBUG util.py:388: Error: No Package found for soxr-devel
portaudio is available in EPEL, but is at a lower version. It appears
that since 19-16 (2013-05-04), only distro rebuilds have caused build
version increments, so I would consider it to be stable, at least within
Fedora. I can request the Fedora/EPEL7 maintainer to update for EPEL5,6.
I can request or take soxr into EPEL5/6. I haven't tried building it
locally yet.
Referring to EPEL update policy, any recommendations about building for
epel-updates-testing, with the view to leaving it there until positive
feedback Karma accumulates ?
