Description FTBFS 2010-01-14 17:36:48 UTC 
eel2-2.26.0-2.fc12.src.rpm Failed To Build From Source against the rawhide tree.  See http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FTBFS for more information.
If you believe this is actually a bug in another package, do NOT change the component in this bug or close this bug.  Instead, add the appropriate bug number from the other package to the "Depends on" line in this bug.  If the other package does not yet have a bug created that you think matches, please create one.  Doing so helps us properly track bugs and their dependencies, just as we track package dependencies.  (If you close this bug, and the other package is not fixed before the next FTBFS run, a new bug will get created.  Please follow the above advice to avoid such duplication.)

Comment 7 Dmitry Butskoy 2010-01-14 17:58:05 UTC 
eel-2 requires "gnome_bg_changes_with_size" function from the gnome-desktop
package, but the latest gnome-desktop in rawhide no more provides it.

Some packages which use eel2 cannot be build for this reason (ie.
gnome-translate).
Comment 8 Tomáš Bžatek 2010-01-15 10:01:34 UTC 
Time to let eel2 finally die. gnome-bg in gnome-desktop changes rapidly, even if we fix eel2 now, it will break again in near future. Nothing should really use eel2 now.

According to repoquery, gnome-translate is the only user. And looking into its sources, it heavily depends on eel2.

Dmitry, looking at Ubuntu lucid (devel) gnome-translate package, there's a nice patch removing dependency on eel2 completely: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/g/gnome-translate/gnome-translate_0.99-0ubuntu5.diff.gz
http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/gnome-translate

Do you think you can backport some of the patches into Fedora? I will then officially remove eel2 from distro.
Comment 9 Dmitry Butskoy 2010-01-18 13:36:49 UTC 
OK, I'm looking into it...
Comment 10 Dmitry Butskoy 2010-01-18 15:35:34 UTC 
Thanks for the link to the patch!

I've successfully rebuilt gnome-translate without eel2 (see
http://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/packages/gnome-translate/0.99/16.fc13/ )
Comment 11 Tomáš Bžatek 2010-01-19 13:32:32 UTC 
Thanks Dmitry!

I've just asked to retire eel2: https://fedorahosted.org/rel-eng/ticket/3280
Comment 12 Tomáš Bžatek 2010-01-20 09:53:04 UTC 
eel2 is now dead.
