Description Ladar Levison 2022-06-24 22:42:04 UTC
Please branch and add meanwhile to EPEL 9. A scratch build worked just fine, so no other changes should be required. 

This package is needed to build Pidgin and clear bug 2044092.

Branch requested: https://pagure.io/releng/fedora-scm-requests/issue/45337

In the meanwhile (pun intended) I've updated meanwhile to the latest release on github and cleaned up the SPEC file: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/meanwhile/c/91088ce1969bd92981362196168d5f3e85bd65d6?branch=rawhide
If you can, it would be nice to know if this update works: https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/?packages=meanwhile

I've not been using meanwhile for many years (it's Lotus still a thing?), would be nice to have additional maintainers for the package. If you want I can add you as a maintainer.

Comment 2 Ladar Levison 2022-06-28 12:28:16 UTC
Hi Simone, 

Since I've never written code against this lib/package directly, I wouldn't know how to test it, beyond running `make test` or `make check` from within the build directory. I haven't looked at the spec file, but I assume that's already happening, and passing when it's built on Koji? 

Personally, I'm just trying to get Pidgin working. There were a few missing dependencies, so once all of them are available, I can presumably test Pidgin, and report back with a new bug report if there's a problem?

L~

P.S. This could be a silly question, but I don't see the EL9 branch at https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/meanwhile ... is there a lag?

No I meant if you could actually test the Lotus/Sametime integration, but it seems not.

Yes sure, this of course is fine.

Look here, once this is approved, the branch is created and I will try to build it (tonight or tomorrow morning at maximum):

Ah. I saw that, but I didn't realize the branch needed approval. I thought the package maintainer could do it unilaterally. 

I'm still learning.
