Description Flags
Apply patch in F-8/ directory: libconfuse-2.6-0.2 none

Description Hans Ulrich Niedermann 2008-01-04 14:13:42 UTC 
At the time of this writing libconfuse-2.5-3 is the newest package in F-8 and
rawhide.

http://www.nongnu.org/confuse/ says that the new libconfuse-2.6 release is to be
found at http://bzero.se/confuse/ instead of at
http://download.savannah.nongnu.org/releases/confuse/ (for some reason).
Comment 1 Jarod Wilson 2008-01-04 14:49:23 UTC 
Hrm... Two issues with the new version...

1) it doesn't actually build for me

2) the license changed

The first is definitely a problem. At a glance, looks like probably just a
compiler flag that needs tweaking so we don't treat warnings as errors. The
second just needs a bit of research to make sure the new license conditions are
okay for Fedora.


Snippet from build failure:

Comment 2 Hans Ulrich Niedermann 2008-01-21 16:10:06 UTC 
Created attachment 292382 [details]
Apply patch in F-8/ directory: libconfuse-2.6-0.2

This is how I would do it... and it seems to build:
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=362349

I have not checked that any of the libconfuse dependencies work with this
package, though.
Comment 3 Jarod Wilson 2008-02-04 15:25:43 UTC 
ISC appears to be the correct value for the License: field, and its just fine
with legal. Committing and building for rawhide shortly...
Comment 4 Jarod Wilson 2008-02-04 15:42:00 UTC 
Built for rawhide, building for F-8 now.
