Description Tomáš Hrnčiar 2024-12-03 09:32:24 UTC 
bind fails to build with sphinx 8.x in Fedora 42 (currently Rawhide).

The issue detected:
```

```

It seems like there is upstream fix available:
https://gitlab.isc.org/isc-projects/bind9/-/merge_requests/9663

Please work with upstream on this issue, I plan to ship sphinx 8 in two weeks.


For the logs from testing build attempts, see:
https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/thrnciar/python-sphinx/package/bind/

You can test you package in mock running:

$ mock -r fedora-rawhide-x86_64
--addrepo=https://download.copr.fedorainfracloud.org/results/thrnciar/python-sphinx/fedora-rawhide-x86_64/ --no-clean your.src.rpm
$ mock -r fedora-rawhide-x86_64
--addrepo=https://download.copr.fedorainfracloud.org/results/thrnciar/python-sphinx/fedora-rawhide-x86_64/ shell

We'd like to include Sphinx 8 in Fedora 42.
Let us know here if you have any questions. Thank you!

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora Linux 42 development cycle.
Changing version to 42.
Comment 2 Petr Menšík 2025-08-14 14:21:42 UTC 
This were fixed by rebase to 9.18.32, which solved the problem. This is good now.
