Description bryant 2013-11-26 00:53:03 UTC
Description of problem:
Programs included with `bzrtools` package warn about not matching the installed `bzr` version.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
bzr-2.6
bzrtools-UNKNOWN


How reproducible:
Always


Steps to Reproduce:
1. `sudo yum install bzr bzrtools`
2. `bzr patch`
3.

Actual results:
`Plugin "Bzrtools" is not up to date with installed Bazaar version 2.6.0.
There should be a newer version of Bzrtools available, e.g. 2.6.`

Expected results:
It should've just worked fine.

Additional info:
I'm running an up to date version of Fedora 20 as of now.

Comment 1 Toshio Ernie Kuratomi 2013-11-26 01:04:07 UTC
In this case, there's no newer version of bzrtools from upstream.  I could either remove bzrtools from Fedora 20 or ship the latest version with its spurious warning.  Since the tools seem to work and it's only the warning that's being thrown, I was going to ship it.

Do you think I should block it from Fedora 20 instead?

Comment 2 bryant 2013-11-26 01:20:51 UTC
I brought this issue up on the KiCAD developers mailing list, as I'm trying to build KiCAD following their instructions, and they state that the compatibility fix with bzr2.6 is here: https://code.launchpad.net/~andrewsomething/bzrtools/kill_get_ancestry. I'm following up with that user from the mailing list as I believe he has been compiling it from source.

From browsing the history of this package in the Debian sources, I'm a little worried about how active this project is, considering the fork linked to above has been active for over a year and still not mainlined. I think packaging andrewsomething's fork is probably the best course if bzrtools is to stay in the repos.

Comment 3 Fedora Admin XMLRPC Client 2014-08-14 00:55:54 UTC
This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database.  Reassigning to the new owner of this component.

Comment 4 Fedora End Of Life 2015-05-29 09:51:22 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 20 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 20. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora  'version'
of '20'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora 20 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Comment 5 Fedora End Of Life 2015-06-29 13:10:42 UTC
Fedora 20 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-06-23. Fedora 20 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
