Description Charalampos Stratakis 2019-05-29 12:45:45 UTC

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Python_Extension_Flags will be backported to RHEL 8.1.0 and libvirt-python will be affected during a rebuild as noted here [0]. The fix from Fedora needs to be backported [1].

Fixed in upstream v5.2.0-1-gda3391a so moving to post.

Comment 6 lcheng 2020-08-21 08:39:44 UTC

Verified on libvirt-python-6.6.0-1.module+el8.3.0+7572+bcbf6b90.src.rpm. In libvirt-python.spec, the new %py{2,3}_{build,install} are used when building python modules.


libvirt-python.spec:
...
%build
%if ! %{supported_platform}
echo "This RPM requires either Fedora >= %{min_fedora} or RHEL >= %{min_rhel}"
exit 1
%endif

%if 0%{?fedora} || 0%{?rhel} >= 8
%py3_build
%else
CFLAGS="$RPM_OPT_FLAGS" %{__python3} setup.py build
%endif

%install
%if 0%{?fedora} || 0%{?rhel} >= 8
%py3_install
%else
%{__python3} setup.py install --skip-build --root=%{buildroot}
%endif
...

Move to VERIFIED.
