Description R P Herrold 2013-11-26 18:16:40 UTC

Description of problem:

The current EPEL 6 vala is stale

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

vala-0.10.4-1

How reproducible:

try to build from a current git CO at gnome.org, and one is greeted with: 

+ ./autogen.sh                                                                 
**Error**: You must have valac >= 0.12.0 installed                             
  to build vala. Download the appropriate package                              
  from your distribution or get the source tarball at                          
  http://download.gnome.org/sources/vala/  


Steps to Reproduce:

CO the upstream git and follow the build process

Actual results:

Comment 2 Ben Cotton 2020-11-05 16:49:25 UTC

This message is a reminder that EPEL 6 is nearing its end of life. Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for EPEL 6 on 2020-11-30. It is our policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 'version' of 'el6'.

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 EPEL version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before EPEL 6 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.
