Description Dhiru Kholia 2013-12-03 05:58:11 UTC 
Description of problem
----------------------

siril fails to build if "-Werror=format-security" flag is used.

...

siril.c:207:3: error: format not a string literal and no format arguments [-Werror=format-security]

...

We are working on a proposal to enable "-Werror=format-security" for all
packages. Once this flag is enabled, GCC will refuse to compile code that could
be vulnerable to a string format security flaw. For more details, please see
https://fedorahosted.org/fesco/ticket/1185 page.

To understand why it is important to fix this, please see
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Format-Security-FAQ page.

How to fix this
---------------

The fix for these errors is quite simple. It's a matter of changing a
line like,

   printf(foo);

to read,

   printf("%s", foo);

That's it.

Please fix this issue in rawhide with a patch (which you should submit
to upstream to merge moving forward). Please do a new build with the
fix in rawhide. Other releases do not need to be directly fixed, but
there should be no harm in pushing out this fix/patch with other needed
changes to those branches.

In the event you don't fix this bug before the next mass rebuild,
provenpackagers may step in and update your package(s) to fix this
issue.

How reproducible
----------------

Build siril-0.8-15.fc20.src.rpm with "-Werror=format-security" flag to reproduce the problem.

To make this process easier, you can use a modified "redhat-rpm-config" package
from http://people.fedoraproject.org/~halfie/artifacts/redhat-rpm-config/ URL.

$ sha256sum redhat-rpm-config-9.1.0-56.fc20.*

Marek - can you please take care of this?
Comment 2 Orion Poplawski 2014-03-02 03:49:45 UTC 
Marek - this package has broken deps and fails to build due to this issue.  Please fix.  If there is no response I start the unresponsive maintainer process.  If you no longer wish to maintain this, please orphan it and announce in on the devel list.  Thanks.
Comment 4 Jaroslav Reznik 2015-03-03 16:57:22 UTC 
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 22 development cycle.
Changing version to '22'.
