Looks like some Provides/Requires need filtering (since spicebird is including it's own mozilla sources/build). /me slaps forehead, sorry, I should have caught that during the pkg review. Looks like a dupe of bug 224544 to me. Although it really shouldn't have private copies of the libs in the first place. Ignacio, it's related, but not duplicate. In other packages this has created real depsolving problems several times before. The full fix in rpmbuild would need more than only changing find-provides. It would also be necessary to teach find-requires how to distinguish between external and internal dependencies (and filter out the latter). On fedora-devel-list Chris Aillon has pointed to a script that can be used to filter out the internal soname provides+requires. If it works in thunderbird, no need to reinvent the wheel: http://cvs.fedoraproject.org/viewcvs/rpms/thunderbird/F-9/find-external-requires?rev=1.1&view=log We are working with Thunderbird folks to make Thunderbird and Spicebird run on xulrunner. This non-trivial task will happen mostly in the time frame of Thunderbird 3.0 and Spicebird 1.0. Until then depending on xulrunner is not possible. Spicebird will continue to use Mozilla internal api which means it has be built along with Mozilla source. Hence, Spicebird has to be built in the similar way Thunderbird is built. It can use system nspr and nss libraries. Rest of the libraries that are built will be specific to Spicebird and will reside in /usr/lib/spicebird and spicebird package itself will not provide any libraries to be used by other packages. I tried to create a patch for the problem but could not find the .spec and other files in the cvs looking here: http://cvs.fedora.redhat.com/viewcvs/devel/?root=core Am I looking at the wrong place? Thanks. fyi, spicebird is currently only built for F-8, so the "devel" branch is empty (we should probably rectify that). In the meantime, peruse: http://cvs.fedora.redhat.com/viewcvs/rpms/spicebird/F-8/ Steven kindly sent me the spec file. I've sent him a patch to fix this problem. There are also improvements possible on using system libraries and removing developer specific files. Ping, is this resolved or still an issue? Still an issue, the current release is not compatible with gcc 4.3. Waiting for beta .7 which hopefully will resolve the issues. No ETA atm. Any news on this? It would be nice to get spicebird in F9/F10/rawhide... and f8 will soon be end of life. ;( They just released beta .7 this week. Will start working it up. Hopefully it will compile with the current gcc the last beta would not. This message is a reminder that Fedora 8 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 8. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '8'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 8's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 8 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping Created attachment 327882 [details]
Spicebird spec file, misc source files, patches working on f10
I made a first cut version of Spicebird build for Fedora 10. Attached are the files.
I did this based on Thunderbird RPM work. The files list, dependencies, build dependencies, l10n work, rh preferences, basic build steps etc. are fairly complete. I also included a patch for max path length related buffer overflows in upstream mozilla code.
I'd also like to fix any PPC, PPC64 build errors for bugs #447804 and #447805. I don't have the setup here. Can I get the failed build logs?
Bugzilla messed up your attachment, can you email me the attachment and I'll do some test builds today. I'll also send you the PPC and PPC64 logs once I try a build. Also thanks for doing this, it was on my list of things to do over the holiday and you saved me alot of time. Steven smparrish (In reply to comment #13) > Bugzilla messed up your attachment, I checked the patch flag by mistake. I fixed it. spicebird-0.7-1.fc10 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 10. http://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/spicebird-0.7-1.fc10 Thanks for getting it built. ;) 2 (probibly related) issues I see with the build: - It looks like it's not using the normal fedora CFLAGS later in the build. Possibly the c++ flags. - debuginfo is empty. Probibly because it's not building with debug symbols. Created attachment 327919 [details] Untested patch that should fix debugsyms and cflags problem (In reply to comment #16) > Thanks for getting it built. ;) > > 2 (probibly related) issues I see with the build: > > - It looks like it's not using the normal fedora CFLAGS later in the build. > Possibly the c++ flags. > > - debuginfo is empty. Probibly because it's not building with debug symbols. I found bug #133738 what was the similar bug for Firefox. Based on Firefox fixes, I made patch to our spec that should fix both the problems. I didn't test the patch though. (In reply to comment #17) > Created an attachment (id=327919) [details] > Untested patch that should fix debugsyms and cflags problem > Also in this patch I set build process to use as many cpus as available instead of capping to 2 like Firefox seems to do. We have reliably tested up to 8 simultaneous jobs and have no reason to believe that even higher is a problem. However, if you have a problem in the build (or if the build servers need it to be that way) simply set it -j2. spicebird-0.7-2.fc10 has been pushed to the Fedora 10 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report. Thank you everyone. |
