Description Przemek Klosowski 2016-11-03 19:24:34 UTC 
Description of problem:
F23 provides an obsolete version of jsoncpp (0.6.0, dating back to 2011). The latest on https://github.com/open-source-parsers/jsoncpp is 1.7.7
I noticed that while compiling optizelle which requires newer API.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
jsoncpp-0.6.0-0.18.rc2.fc23.x86_64

How reproducible: very

Steps to Reproduce:
1. rpm -q jsoncpp

Actual results: jsoncpp-0.6.0-0.18.rc2.fc23.x86_64

Expected results: jsoncpp-1.7.7...
Comment 1 Przemek Klosowski 2016-11-03 19:30:34 UTC 
jsoncpp dependency list is not too long:
cmake, cmake-gui
engrid
kopete
libASL
minetest
mrpt-*
orthanc*
vfrnav*
vtk*

as obtained from dnf repoquery --whatrequires jsoncpp --alldeps
I didn't check if there's a specific version requirement for those packages

See bug #1372329 — jsoncpp is updated to 1.7.7 in Fedora 25, which will be released in a few weeks. It's not a completely trivial update (and as you note, a major version change) so I don't think we'll see one for F23.

Updating jsoncpp would require a rebuild of all those listed packages against the new version…

Fedora 24 has jsoncpp-1.7.2 in it's repos and since Fedora 23 goes end of life sometime second half of December 2016, there will be no major update.


Since current stable release of Fedora 24 has a recent enough version of jsoncpp and it is highly recommended to upgrade to f24, I'll change status to CLOSED ---> CURRENTRELEASE.
