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 It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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. It's easy to fix, just modify sconsopts and rebuild:
%global sconsopts VERSION=%{version} PREFIX=%{_prefix} PREFIX_CONF=%{_sysconfdir} SKIPUTILS='NSIS Menu' STRIP_CP=false NSIS_MAX_STRLEN=8192

The common method to manipulate the Path variable from nsis installers is the use of the ${EnvVarUpdate} function. http://nsis.sourceforge.net/Path_Manipulation This function however corrupts the Path variable if it is longer than the maximum nsis string length, which is 1024 bytes by default. It is therefore recommended to compile nsis with a maximum string length of 8192 bytes. http://nsis.sourceforge.net/Special_Builds So please add NSIS_MAX_STRLEN=8192 to sconsopts.
