Description Pete Walter 2018-02-07 09:36:42 UTC

Spec URL: https://pwalter.fedorapeople.org/compat-libvpx4.spec
SRPM URL: https://pwalter.fedorapeople.org/compat-libvpx4-1.6.1-1.fc28.src.rpm
Description: Compatibility package with libvpx libraries ABI version 4.

Now that libvpx soname was bumped in rawhide, we need to create a compatibility package to keep binary compatibility with various third party repos that link with libvpx.so.4.

This falls under multiple versions of the same package coexisting in the distribution review exemption, as per https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:ReviewGuidelines#Package_Review_Process and does not need to go through review.

(fedrepo-req-admin):  The Pagure repository was created at https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/compat-libvpx4

Comment 3 Pete Walter 2018-02-07 14:50:31 UTC

Thanks Chris! Built as compat-libvpx4-1.6.1-1.fc28

Comment 4 Andre Robatino 2018-11-02 03:49:05 UTC

I was able to use this package in F29 to install VirtualBox-5.2-5.2.20_125813_fedora26-1.x86_64 which requires libvpx.so.4. (They ought to rebuild VirtualBox for F29 but may not get around to it for a while.)

Comment 5 Andre Robatino 2018-11-02 06:28:37 UTC

Is this package intended to be available from a Fedora repo, or only from Koji? It's not available in F29 or Rawhide, only from the one Koji build ( https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=26315 , F28 only).

Comment 6 Pete Walter 2018-11-02 19:46:38 UTC

I retired it in F29+. compat-libvpx4-1.6.1-1.fc28 was only intended as a temporary ABI compatibility layer for F28 and not to keep it around forever. VirtaulBox needs to get rebuilt on a newer Fedora to support F29.
