Description Petr Pisar 2022-06-22 15:45:47 UTC
I have ready a biber-2.18 (bug #2100151) which bumps a bcfversion to 3.9. That will break texlive-biblatex-9:svn61868-55.fc37 unless you update biblatex to 3.18. It's already available on GitHub <https://github.com/plk/biblatex/tags>. Not yet on CTAN.

I will hold on building biber-2.18 until you manage to upgrade texlive-biblatex. When doing so, please don't forget to change the "Requires: bcfversion" dependency to "= 3.9".

If you want to provide a seamless upgrade to our users, I recommend building both texlive and biber in a Koji side-tag. Once you build texlive, tell me and I will build biber.

Comment 1 nilskemail 2022-06-27 17:38:48 UTC
Would this imply updating to TexLive 2022 completely or should that be a separate ticket? Cause currently we would like that due to the newer siunitx version

Comment 2 Petr Pisar 2022-06-28 10:32:41 UTC
I believe updating biblatex without the rest of TexLive is enough. If you want a newer siunitx, then file a separate ticket.
By the way, biblatex-3.18 is on CTAN now.

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora Linux 37 development cycle.
Changing version to 37.

Comment 4 Petr Pisar 2022-09-09 11:56:28 UTC
I will try do the update in f38-build-side-58332 side tag.
