Description Ondrej Dubaj 2021-03-25 12:44:33 UTC

Your package fails to build with the newest upcoming autoconf-2.71, which is part of a wide Fedora change. Please see the attached copr: https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/odubaj/autoconf-2.70/packages/. More information about testing your package when building with autoconf available here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Autoconf_271#How_To_Test

Comment 1 Vasant Hegde 2021-03-26 07:39:47 UTC

Looking at latest build failure (https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/odubaj/autoconf-2.70/build/2095565/),

From build log : 

Finish: build setup for librtas-2.0.2-7.fc35.src.rpm
Start: rpmbuild librtas-2.0.2-7.fc35.src.rpm
error: Architecture is not included: x86_64     <-- librtas is exclusive to Powerpc architecture. We have `ExclusiveArch` tag in spec file.
Building target platforms: x86_64
Building for target x86_64
Finish: rpmbuild librtas-2.0.2-7.fc35.src.rpm
Finish: build phase for librtas-2.0.2-7.fc35.src.rpm

This is expected. Can someone help me to understand why its trying to build on x86_64 arch?

Comment 2 Ondrej Dubaj 2021-03-26 08:03:27 UTC

Currently we do not have the possibility to test other architectures than x86_64. The build was scheduled automatically for all packages which require autoconf and this bug was created automatically as well. It is up to package maintainer to test his packages against the upcoming change. It would be nice if you can do the testing locally and make appropriate changes to the package, so the update will be as fluent as possible.

Thanks.

Thanks for the clarification. I will try to verify ASAP.

Gentle ping.

Comment 5 Ondrej Dubaj 2021-05-04 07:45:46 UTC

We already have a possibility to check also non-x86_64 architectures, please see this section: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Autoconf_271#How_To_Test.

Builds OK with autoconf 2.71.
