why the Group tag is obsolete ?
by Sérgio Basto 31 Aug '16

31 Aug '16

Hi, A year ago, I learned that Group tag is obsolete [1] I remember ask the reason and is something about comps.xml that I don't remember neither find on google , but for projects that still use repoview, Group tag is needed. So the questions are, have we any replacement for repoview ? or another way to show one repo content ? and why the Group tag is obsolete ? can someone remind me why. And how we now the group of one package ? . Thanks. [1] https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1239067#c1 -- Sérgio M. B.

messages printed by ./configure are reordered by mock in build.log
by Basin Ilya 26 Aug '16

26 Aug '16

Hi. I tried to compare build.log from running mock with the output from directly running rpmbuild. rpmbuild: checking how to run the C preprocessor... gcc -E checking for an ANSI C-conforming const... yes checking for inline... inline build.log: checking how to run the C preprocessor... yes checking for an ANSI C-conforming const... gcc -E yes checking for inline... checking for grep that handles long lines and -e... /usr/bin/grep checking for egrep... /usr/bin/grep -E checking for ANSI C header files... inline It looks like mock is forcibly redirecting stdout and stderr through two different pipes and a race condition happens. The problem is the same as in many IDEs. Please, please, make this redirection optional.

Build multilib gcc RPMs for both i686 and x86_64 in just one step
by Basin Ilya 24 Aug '16

24 Aug '16

Hi. I need to build gcc RPMs from source including libgcc.i686 and libstdc++.i686 I don't want to run rpmbuild or mock twice with different arch argument. One is long enough. Besides, the build directory already contains all the needed files after %build phase: ./obj-x86_64-redhat-linux/x86_64-redhat-linux/32/libstdc++-v3/src/.libs/libstdc++.so.6.0.22 ./obj-x86_64-redhat-linux/x86_64-redhat-linux/32/libgcc/32/libgcc_s.so.1 The spec file from gcc-6.1.1-2.fc24.src.rpm suggests some support for that. It has multilib_64_archs and multilib_32_arch macros, but I don't know how to use them.

Python PEP 440 and RPM Versions
by Simo Sorce 24 Aug '16

24 Aug '16

I have been searching the web to see if we have any hard and fast rule on converting the PEP 440 version names into an RPM NVR that will allow correct upgrades when a Python package is released. In particular in PEP 440 the following ordering is true: 0.2.dev1 < 0.2.a1 < 0.0.b1 < 0.2.rc1 == 0.2.c1 < 0.2 == 0.2.0 < 0.2.post1 I haven't found any Fedora Packaging rules or otherwise any recommendation on transforming a PEP440 package version number to an RPM NVR. The first thing that comes to mind is that the above numbers become r respectively: 0.2.dev1 -> name-0.2.0-0.0.dev1 0.2.a1 -> name-0.2.0-0.1.alpha1 0.2.b1 -> name-0.2.0-0.2.beta1 0.2.rc1 -> name-0.2.0-0.3.rc1 0.2.c1 -> name-0.2.0-0.3.rc1 (yes c -> rc here) 0.2 -> name-0.2.0-1 0.2.0 -> name-0.2.0-1 0.2.post1 -> name-0.2.0-1.post1 if any of the packages need bugfixes they would have to append a release number, ie a patch on post1 would result in name-0.2.0-1.post1.1 Does this make sense ? Should it be written down/agreed/discussed anywhere/somewhere else ? Simo. -- Simo Sorce * Red Hat, Inc * New York

Packages that support both linked and header only?
by Dave Johansen 11 Aug '16

11 Aug '16

I'm working on packaging the fmt library [1] and it provides both linked and header only use. My initial thought was to not package the header only files, but it has been requested. I was planning on putting the header only files in *-static to match the spirit of the guidelines [2]. Is that the best way to handle this? Also, can I include the *.h files in both *-devel and *-static or will that conflict cause problems? Thanks, Dave [1]: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1350143 [2]: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines?rd=Packaging/Guidelines…
