Bug 1783684

We don't have the tooling to package golang stuff in EPEL8 yet, I have requested it from RHEL folks https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1774139 but I don't know how much time this will take.

I will try to package it the old way but I'm not sure if it will work.

Ive got a SPEC ready to roll: https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=39634751
I'm waiting for the scm request to be approved and you'll get your package.

That's great! Thanks!

I have set up a buildroot override so you should be able to build now.

xe-guest-utilities failed to build with 'missing function body' errors:

The assembly files are missed in the el8 package?

Woops made a typo in the find command for assembly files, should be fixed now.

xe-guest-utilities now compiled. But the debuginfo failed to generate. Do I have to use a different GO_FLAGS on EPEL8? The current version is:

make PRODUCT_MAJOR_VERSION=%{upstream_major} \
     PRODUCT_MINOR_VERSION=%{upstream_minor} \
     PRODUCT_MICRO_VERSION=%{upstream_micro} \
     RELEASE=%{buildnum} \
     GO_FLAGS='-a -ldflags "${LDFLAGS:-}%{?currentgoldflags} -B 0x$$(head -c20 /dev/urandom|od -An -tx1|tr -d '"'"' \n'"'"') -extldflags '"'"'%__global_ldflags %{?__golang_extldflags}'"'"'" -v -x'

build.log: https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org//work/tasks/2374/39692374/build.log

Yeah slight change that we fixed in Fedora but I don't recall how. First we had to disable DWARF compression because rpm didn't support it but we re enabled it later.

For now add: -compressdwarf=false to the flags.

make PRODUCT_MAJOR_VERSION=%{upstream_major} \
     PRODUCT_MINOR_VERSION=%{upstream_minor} \
     PRODUCT_MICRO_VERSION=%{upstream_micro} \
     RELEASE=%{buildnum} \
     GO_FLAGS='-a -ldflags "${LDFLAGS:-}%{?currentgoldflags} -B 0x$$(head -c20 /dev/urandom|od -An -tx1|tr -d '"'"' \n'"'"') -extldflags '"'"'%__global_ldflags %{?__golang_extldflags}'"'"' -compressdwarf=false" -v -x'

I'll ask Jakub Čajka <jcajka> how we solved this. I think this was fixed in rpm 4.15 but the fix was reverted since.
