3.8-3 builds fine for me in mock. Closing CURRENTRELEASE, I know 3.8 builds fine on F8 and I have built it. This was a special request for supporting someone with 150 FC6 machines which they can't upgrade to FC8. I just want to build a patched version of icu on FC6. The patch and SRPMS are here http://download.savannah.nongnu.org/releases/smc/fedora/8/ And I had no problems building the 3.6 version with the patch on debian etch and lenny. Does a 3.8 version of icu satisfy all icu dependencies on F8? It is not a solution for me. Anyway thanks. Sorry about the version confusion, what I meant was, Does a 3.8 version of icu satisfy all icu dependencies on FC6? Hmm, I don't think it will. I think anything linked against 3.6 will have to be recompiled to link against 3.8 as the symbol prefix changed from something like icu36 to icu38 I recompiled 3.8 on FC6 and I was not able to upgrade icu as openoffice.org-core was linked against 3.6. How can I get a list of all packages linked against icu 3.6 which I can try recompiling with 3.8. OpenOffice is obvious choice and it is something I'm not looking forward to :-( This seems the best option now (recompile all icu3.6 depending packages to use icu3.8). I hope I won't see other surprises on the way. But that hope was far fetched :-( OOo 2.0.4 failed to build with icu 3.8. It is
disappointing to see it is requiring icu 3.6 and a higher version could not help.
So is there any other way I could get a patched icu build on FC6 and use OOo
with it? Should I try building OOo 2.3 from F8 on FC6? Would all the
dependencies fail?
hmm now I understand why people want long term support !!! I always wondered why
would any one still use an old version and stick to it when you have a better
new version!

Or can I trick OOo to believe 36 is there by symlinking 38? Finally gotten around to compiling 3.6 itself with the patch. But you would never expect this from icu, it failed tests because the locale was ml_IN !!! any other package you can understand but icu?? it is supposed to add unicode support, right? Anyway now I have the solution. LANG=en_US rpmbuild -ba SPECS/icu.spec did the trick. The idea came to me when I saw some Malayalam numbers in a failed test case (it tried to compare some values with Malayalam numbers or something stupid - but it does not happen in 3.8 so icu has learned it). Thanks a lot Jon and Caolan. Your comments kept me going. PS: The OOo build ate all my harddrive :-( (also it took ages with KVM on the F8 box) Now happy to have it removed finally. |
