This is an automake problem that has been fixed upstream end of last october. Release 1.24.0 has been prepared with an automake older than this date and has latched the bugous macro into aclocal.m4. @Wolfgang: There is two ways to fix it: 1) Issue a new upstream release prepared with a very recent automake, then package it. You have to do it. 2) Have a "BR: autoconf" and an "autoreconf -fi" at end of %prep section. I can do it (https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=55817651). You decide... please tell. Option (2) is my recommendation. That way you always use the latest fixes when the Fedora package is built, instead of having to do (1) any tome something is wrong with the pre-generated configure. It is also consistent with the suggested idea of rebuilding everything in Fedora instead of shipping pre-generated files in SRPM: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/what-can-be-packaged/#_pregenerated_code > That way you always use the latest fixes when the Fedora package is built...
On the other way, autogen/buildconf process is done when generating an upstream release from SCM and systematically redoing it for an upatched release is not very elegant !
Patrick, you can run `NOCONFIGURE=1 ./autogen.sh` after `%autosetup` because MATE ships `autogen.sh` in all tarballs. Btw, mate-common pulls in `autoconf` as runtime require. https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/mate-common/blob/master/f/mate-common.spec#_12 As Mate upstream folk i prefer to re-run autogen to fix the issue. We include `autogen` ecactly for this case to avoid preparing a new tarball for a leightweight problem probably caused by a thirdparty. This should do it: https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=55864617 Builds successfully in mock with python 3.10. Thanks for the hints. Thanks. |
python-caja fails to build with Python 3.10.0a2. This seems like a problem with detecting the correct version of Python (3.10 instead of 3.1). $ rg -F "sys.version" aclocal.m4 1230: [am_cv_python_version=`$PYTHON -c "import sys; sys.stdout.write(sys.version[[:3]])"`]) 1263: if python_implementation() == 'CPython' and sys.version[[:3]] == '2.7': 1366:# word of sys.version), in order to cope with versions such as 2.2c1. configure 14719: am_cv_python_version=`$PYTHON -c "import sys; sys.stdout.write(sys.version[:3])"` 14760: if python_implementation() == 'CPython' and sys.version[:3] == '2.7': $ python3.10 -c "import sys; sys.stdout.write(sys.version[:3])" 3.1 Please use (something like) this instead: $ python3.10 -c "import sys; sys.stdout.write('{}.{}'.format(*sys.version_info[:2]))" 3.10 For the build logs, see: https://copr-be.cloud.fedoraproject.org/results/@python/python3.10/fedora-rawhide-x86_64/01771018-python-caja/ For all our attempts to build python-caja with Python 3.10, see: https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/g/python/python3.10/package/python-caja/ Testing and mass rebuild of packages is happening in copr. You can follow these instructions to test locally in mock if your package builds with Python 3.10: https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/g/python/python3.10/ Let us know here if you have any questions. Python 3.10 will be included in Fedora 35. To make that update smoother, we're building Fedora packages with early pre-releases of Python 3.10. A build failure prevents us from testing all dependent packages (transitive [Build]Requires), so if this package is required a lot, it's important for us to get it fixed soon. We'd appreciate help from the people who know this package best, but if you don't want to work on this now, let us know so we can try to work around it on our side.
