Description Fedora Release Engineering 2023-07-25 20:33:15 UTC 
lua failed to build from source in Fedora rawhide/f39

https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=103852429


For details on the mass rebuild see:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_39_Mass_Rebuild
Please fix lua at your earliest convenience and set the bug's status to
ASSIGNED when you start fixing it. If the bug remains in NEW state for 8 weeks,
lua will be orphaned. Before branching of Fedora 40,
lua will be retired, if it still fails to build.

Comment 4 Yaakov Selkowitz 2023-07-31 20:47:58 UTC 
Failure is on s390x only, during tests:

/builddir/build/BUILDROOT/lua-5.4.6-2.fc39.s390x//usr/bin/lua: calls.lua:355: binary string: bad binary format (integer format mismatch)
stack traceback:
	[C]: in function 'assert'
	calls.lua:355: in main chunk
	(...tail calls...)
	all.lua:164: in main chunk
	[C]: in ?
.

This would seem related to https://github.com/lua/lua/commit/ab859fe59b464a038a45552921cb2b23892343af
Comment 5 Dan Horák 2023-08-01 09:14:38 UTC 
I see the same failure on ppc64, so I guess the test is wrong for big endian platforms, because the precompiled code dump is in little endian format.
Comment 6 Dan Horák 2023-08-01 12:38:07 UTC 
I have reported my findings upstream, but still haven't a usable URL from their mailing list archive.

Until fixed upstream I would suggest to patch-out the new test ...
Comment 7 Tom "spot" Callaway 2023-08-01 14:14:43 UTC 
The test is patched out for now, 5.4.6-3.fc39 is built in rawhide.
Comment 8 Dan Horák 2023-08-02 10:35:01 UTC 
my upstream report is http://lua-users.org/lists/lua-l/2023-08/msg00000.html
