Description Jens Petersen 2009-01-23 03:40:09 UTC

Description of problem:
libedit requires ncurses and reflecting that libedit-devel should require ncurses-devel.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
libedit-2.11-1.20080712cvs.fc10

Steps to Reproduce:
This is causing a problem for ghc (Haskell compiler) when trying to link its editline library which is linked to libedit.

Actual results:
$ rpm -q --requires libedit | grep ncurses
libncurses.so.5()(64bit)  
$ rpm -q --requires libedit-devel | grep ncurses
$

Expected results:
libedit to require ncurses-devel. 

Additional info:
I note that libedit-20090111-3.0 was also released upstream.

I am happy to fix and update the package if you don't have time.

Comment 1 Jeffrey C. Ollie 2009-01-23 06:02:50 UTC

I've added ncurses-devel as a requirement for libedit-devel and issues builds/updates.  Updating to libedit-20090111-3.0.  I'm less sure about.  I know it's a ways off but perhaps it'd be better to wait and put 3.0 into rawhide once it switches over to F12 development.

Comment 2 Jens Petersen 2009-01-23 07:19:31 UTC

Thanks, Jeff, appreciate the fast response. :)

I'll move this to F10 so that it can closed when the update gets pushed.

Thanks for helping out.

Looking at the following ChangeLog entry, it does not look like that big a change in the library even though the soname has changed. I am inclined to wait till Alpha is out and then evaluate the effect on all dependent packages, and if possible push out an update before Beta.

   * version-info: 0:28:0

   * all: sync with upstream source. MAJOR.MINOR version is now 3.0.
	This is due to NetBSD changing time_t and dev_t to 64 bits. It does
	not really effect this package.

   * configure.ac: Remove '--enable-debug' configure flag. The autoconf way
	to control flags is by specifying them when running configure,
	e.g. 'CFLAGS="-O0 -g" ./configure'

What do you think?

After the Alpha is out should be OK.  Only the minor revision of the soname changed so there shouldn't be any broken dependencies if we push it - I did a test mock build of 3.0 but I didn't install it.  There's around 80 days until the final release so that should be plenty of time to shake out any problems, when I first commented I didn't realize that we had that long.
