Description Alex Lancaster 2009-03-18 11:56:14 UTC
It appears that there is no libgnomedbmm in the new 3.x available to build against the new libgnomedb 3.x series.  Will one be forthcoming?

Currently the version in rawhide (from F-9) is causing broken deps:

	libgnomedbmm-2.9.5-4.fc9.i386 requires libgnomedb-3.0.so.4
	libgnomedbmm-2.9.5-4.fc9.i386 requires libgdamm-3.0.so.10
	libgnomedbmm-2.9.5-4.fc9.i386 requires libgnomedb_graph-3.0.so.4
	libgnomedbmm-2.9.5-4.fc9.i386 requires libgnomedb_extra-3.0.so.4

If no release is likely to be forthcoming, can we just orphan the package and ask rel-eng to block it for f11-beta?  I ran the repoquery, and nothing except itself appears to use the bindings:

# repoquery --enablerepo=rawhide --alldeps --whatrequires libgnomedbmm
libgnomedbmm-0:2.9.5-4.fc9.i386
libgnomedbmm-devel-0:2.9.5-4.fc9.i386

Is it safe to block?

Yes, it needs to be temporarily blocked. I've talked to upstream about it, and they're not in any hurry to port it to the libgda 4.0 API, so we should block it until that happens. It is not abandonded per se.

Just got back from vacation, sorry for the late reply

Can you file a bug on http://fedorahosted/rel-eng requesting the temporary blocking and post a link to it here?

Thanks.

Found it: https://fedorahosted.org/rel-eng/ticket/1416

Set milestone "Fedora 11 Beta" so it gets on rel-eng's radar.

Blocked by rel-eng.
