Description David Auer 2025-04-28 14:50:14 UTC
I'm creating this manually because I couldn't find the automatic FTBFS bug (Any idea why this is missing or where it went?)

Anyway, the builds for Fedora 42 and 43 are failing:
https://koschei.fedoraproject.org/package/libvisual?collection=f43

It looks to me like this packages is needed by gstreamer1-plugins-good which is needed by gnome-shell, therefore it would be part of the default workstation install, is that correct or did I mess up my package dependencies in one of the many upgrades?

Maybe I can help with tracking down and fixing those build issues, but I think I'll wait for some feedback first.

Reproducible: Always

Any thoughts on this issue? I'm happy to help but I'd like to hear something before I invest the time, like would you accept a PR fixing this FTBFS? I'm also happy to help long term as co-maintainer (fas: dreua).

Comment 2 Tom "spot" Callaway 2025-07-02 15:54:15 UTC
Wow, sorry, this one fell between the cracks for a while. I think I can fix it up quickly here.

Comment 3 David Auer 2025-07-02 16:03:54 UTC
No worries, thanks for the quick reply now. Actually there already is a PR which should fix it: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/libvisual/pull-request/4#request_diff

Hi! I'm helping out with libvisual upstream and have write access to branches and issues. If you would like to cherry-pick any post-0.4.2 commits the view at https://github.com/Libvisual/libvisual/compare/libvisual-0.4.2...0.4.x may be of interest. If any unfixed issues remain after that, I'm happy to team up on fixing things upstream. Thanks!
