Description Ben Beasley 2023-08-14 15:18:38 UTC

I am working on updating abseil-cpp[1] to the latest LTS release, 20230802.0[2], in F40/Rawhide and, unless the timeline slips too much, in F39/Branched.

An impact check in COPR[3] shows that fcitx5-mozc is not compatible because it uses internal symbols from the absl::flags_internal that are no longer present in the 20230802.0[4].

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Please see bug 2231905, but check out and build fcitx5-mozc instead.
Actual Results:  
As in bug 2231905.

Expected Results:  
Build succeeds.

Please see bug 2231905 for full details. Let’s use that bug for any necessary coordination.

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora Linux 39 development cycle.
Changing version to 39.
