Bug 1209654

Note that there is also a backwards compatible 0.10.x branch — suggest updating to that. I made an updated specfile in bug #1143774:


Spec: http://mattdm.org/misc/fedora/jsoncpp.spec
SRPM: http://mattdm.org/misc/fedora/jsoncpp-0.10.0-1.src.rpm

but these should be updated to 0.10.2 (or whatever is current).

Please use 0.10 branch for f24 and move to 1.x from f25(if possible push to f24 as well). 

I'd like to see 0.10 in f23, because Fedora jsoncpp has been outdated for years. 

And my idea of this is that since we have switched cxx standard used in gcc, 1.x is better.

Sebastien: any update? You moved it to assigned in April and there doesn't appear to have been any movement since.

Sorry for doing this so late. I just built jsoncpp 0.10.5 for rawhide. Should I leave this bug open until I move to 1.x in f25?

FYI - koschei is now reporting build failures for paraview (at least on arm) with this, so it's not entirely API compatible it seems:

  static const Value& nullRef;

  static const Value null;
#endif

So, looks like paraview should be using nullRef.

Yes, just a small substitution I think.

Yup, that appears to have worked.

Up to you.

What I'm concerned about, is jsoncpp in EPEL7. EPEL6 uses an ancient version, while EPEL7 still ships it...

ALSO, I just went through sources, and found the upstream had merged pkgconfig and cmake support, soname is now handled by upstream, in both 0.x.y and master. You shouldn't use 0.0.0 anymore.

Hmm, epel7 will be tricky.  Also, be aware that upstream does not appear to be very good about catching/tracking API/ABI changes: http://upstream.rosalinux.ru/versions/jsoncpp.html

I updated the package to use cmake instead of scons.

I just coordinated an update to jsoncpp-1.7.2 for fc24+ with Sebastien.

The update bumps the so-name to libjsoncpp.so.1, but keeps 100% source-compatibility to 0.10.5, binary-wise there are 5 new symbols and 2 symbols are renamed by C++ mangling.  Rebuilds are already running (and already finished for Rawhide).

I'll tag all rebuilt packages into buildroot-overrides on fc24 and will provide a multi-binary update as soon as the builds are finished.
