Description Fedora Release Engineering 2026-07-21 18:27:23 UTC 
erlang-clique failed to build from source in Fedora rawhide/f45

https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=147848969


For details on the mass rebuild see:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_45_Mass_Rebuild
Please fix erlang-clique 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,
erlang-clique will be orphaned. Before branching of Fedora 46,
erlang-clique will be retired, if it still fails to build.

Comment 4 Peter Lemenkov 2026-07-29 15:00:21 UTC 
Fixed in erlang-clique-0.3.12-16.fc45.

The FTBFS was caused by OTP 27 making 'else' a reserved keyword. The -define(else, true) macro used as a catch-all clause in the ?MINWIDTH if-expression was rejected by the compiler. Fixed by quoting the atom as -define('else', true) to remain compatible with OTP 27 while staying close to the OpenRiak upstream fix.
