I'll go nudge upstream. The fixes are in upstream CVS. I'm thinking of updating to a CVS snapshot. The only major change I see is: 2005-09-20 Stepan Kasal <kasal> * macros2/gnome-autogen.sh: Prefer newer versions of Automake. From bug #305641. Which means if you have automake 1.5, 1.8, and 1.10 installed and didn't configure a specific version, the old gnome-common would use 1.5. The new gnome-common will use 1.10. http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=305641 It looks like James Henstridge did some extensive testing with the change and found only one breakage in gnome's cvs tree (has been fixed.) The changes have been in gnome-common being used by the modules in gnome-cvs for over a year. I'll put this in devel tonight. BUilt for devel. Please test: http://buildsys.fedoraproject.org/plague-results/fedora-development-extras/gnome-common/2.12.0-4.fc7/noarch/gnome-common-2.12.0-4.fc7.noarch.rpm Works For Me But don't we still need a Requires in the spec file? Didn't mean to close this earlier, sorry. Closed now fixed for next release -- 2.12.0-4 Re: Comment #4 It's a bit complex. gnome-common will work with any version of automake from 1.4 up. So I don't need the automake package, I need something that provides an automake[VERSION] program and the scripts to back it up. In Fedora we have automake "compat" packages automake14, automake18, etc which satisfy this need. Just using Require: automake <= 1.10 won't pick up these additional packages. automake and the automake compat packages don't have any sort of virtual provide that I can depend on (Like Provides: automake(abi) = 1.4) so I'm unable to Require: automake(abi) >= 1.4, automake(abi) <= 1.10 So that's why there's currently no Requires: automake in the spec file. |
Description of problem: /usr/bin/gnome-autogen.sh dies with automake > 1.9 I filed this bug here because gnome-common is not listed in bugzilla. gnome-autogen.sh will not accept automake > 1.9: case $REQUIRED_AUTOMAKE_VERSION in 1.4*) automake_progs="automake-1.4" ;; 1.5*) automake_progs="automake-1.5 automake-1.6 automake-1.7 automake-1.8 automake-1.9" ;; 1.6*) automake_progs="automake-1.6 automake-1.7 automake-1.8 automake-1.9" ;; 1.7*) automake_progs="automake-1.7 automake-1.8 automake-1.9" ;; 1.8*) automake_progs="automake-1.8 automake-1.9" ;; 1.9*) automake_progs="automake-1.9" ;; esac At the least, the rpm for gnome-common should have a Require for the correct version of automake. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gnome-common-2.12.0-3.fc6 How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info: Maybe you could even nudge upstream to include automake-1.10 :)
