Description Miro Hrončok 2019-08-31 12:59:09 UTC

pocketsphinx fails to build with Python 3.8.0b3 in Fedora 32.

See the build failures at https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/search?match=glob&type=package&terms=pocketsphinx

It is a dependency problem:

No matching package to install: 'pkgconfig(sphinxbase)'

It is not important the problem is not relevant to Python 3.8, this issue is blocking the Python 3.8 rebuilds.
If this package won't build with 3.8, it won't be installable, along with all its dependent packages, in Fedora 32 and further.

Furthermore, as it fails to install, its dependent packages will fail to install and/or build as well.

Please rebuild the package in Fedora 32 (rawhide).

Let us know here if you have any questions. Thank You!

I think that this package shall be retired. It has dependencies missing for couple releases. WDYT?

Comment 2 W. Michael Petullo 2019-10-13 17:10:52 UTC

It looks like sphinxbase will be easy to fix; a patch follows. If we make this change and unorphan sphinxbase, then I should be able to fix pocketsphinx too. The problem seems to follow from pulling Python 2 out of Fedora.

Comment 4 W. Michael Petullo 2019-10-17 02:06:19 UTC

I just brought sphinxbase back into Rawhide, so this should be fixed soon. I am waiting on the sphinxbase package to become available in the build system.
