Description Orion Poplawski 2021-08-21 01:59:49 UTC
Description of problem:

We are looking to build julia for EPEL, but this requires utf8proc-devel.  utf8proc is in appstream but utf8proc-devel is not available.  Please make it available.  Thanks!

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
2.1.1-5.module_el8.3.0+703+ba2f61b7

Comment 9 Josh Boyer 2022-04-29 11:55:06 UTC
Orion, apologies for the lack of response.  We've actually been looking into this and delivery is possible, but more complicated that you might expect.

utf8proc is part of the subversion module and the utf8proc-devel subpackage would be in a corresponding subversion-devel module that is not included today.  It might be possible to ship this, but it has implications for anyone that wants to consume it.  Specifically, the CodeReady Builder (RHEL 8) or PowerTools (CentOS Stream 8) repository would need to be enabled, and you would need to explicitly enable the subversion-devel:1.10 module before the packages become avaiable.

E.g.


[root@3e778be44dc1 /]# yum module enable subversion-devel:1.10

Is this ok [y/N]: 

I'm not aware of how EPEL deals with modular content, but it may require some work on the buildsystem side or for julia to be made a modular package that depends on subversion.  Before we commit to delivering this, I wanted to be sure you were aware of the implications and determine if this was even a viable solution for your goals.

Comment 10 Orion Poplawski 2022-05-04 02:49:27 UTC
I am pretty sure that EPEL flattens modules into the buildroot and so would be available for EPEL builds.  For example the kdesvn build https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=1526019 install subversion-devel just fine.

root.log shows:
DEBUG util.py:623:   subversion-devel            x86_64  1.10.2-2.module+el8.0.0+3900+919b6753 build  342 k

Thank you very much for pursuing this.

This is what it should look like for RHEL 8.7, FYI:

+ dnf repoquery -q --disable-modular-filtering utf8proc\* --qf %\{REPOID\}\ %\{name\}-%\{version\}-%\{release\}.%\{arch\}

Josh, thanks a lot for your help with this.
