why the Group tag is obsolete ?
by Sérgio Basto
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A year ago, I learned that Group tag is obsolete [1] I remember ask the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 and why the Group tag is
obsolete ?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.

messages printed by ./configure are reordered by mock in build.log
by Basin Ilya
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
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
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.
