Description Cristian Le 2025-07-16 15:13:10 UTC

Dear package maintainer,

This is an automated bug created due to a FTBFS when rebuilding this package for the change proposal CMake: Use ninja generator by default.

The rebuild is being tracked in https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/lecris/cmake-ninja/package/dnf-plugins-core.

See https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/CMake_ninja_default for more information on how to make the package compatible.

More specifically, make sure you are using standard %cmake_* macros. If you find that there are hard dependencies on
the generator even after such transition, please ping me for closer investigation.

You can check the build locally following the instructions in the change proposal, or submit your build to the tracking
copr project.

Let me know if you encounter any issues, or need any other help.

Comment 1 Petr Pisar 2026-02-25 12:19:17 UTC

This switch to ninja happened in cmake-4.2.3-2.fc45.x86_64.

Comment 2 Petr Pisar 2026-02-25 12:21:17 UTC

F44 is also affected.

Comment 3 Cristian Le 2026-02-25 12:51:05 UTC

See the open PR for it: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/dnf-plugins-core/pull-request/5

Comment 4 Petr Pisar 2026-02-25 13:15:07 UTC

I have a simpler fix <https://github.com/rpm-software-management/dnf-plugins-core/pull/609>.

Comment 5 Cristian Le 2026-02-25 13:42:09 UTC

Either works, the one in that PR also drops `__cmake_in_source_build 1` to truely use the cmake macros as they are more intended to be used

Comment 6 Petr Pisar 2026-02-25 13:44:45 UTC

I saw that, but the _vpath_builddir macro is not documented in the guidelines, so I'd like to avoid it.
