It looks like RH went to tix-8.2.0b1 in RH 7.1, but I think that's a mistake. I don't think tix-8.2.0 (now b3) is ready for prime time, especially with Python 2.x. There are 3 patches on tix-8.2.0b1, all of which I have questions about: a) dirtree-patch I believe corresponds to the bugzilla report https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=45570 I have contributed a followup to say I think it was a python 2.1 Tix.py problem that is no longer true with a fixed Tix.py (in tix-8.1.3). b) perf-patch which is based on an analysis done in 1999 on Tix 4.1.x and tk8.0 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=2332 and AFAIK stopped being a problem in tix-8.1.1/tk-8.3.1. c) makecfg-patch which hacks configure directly instead of getting the spec file to use configure to change the CFLAGS or fixing configure.in It also takes the tix version number out of the .so file name which I think is dangerous, because I'm not sure tix 8.1.x and tix 8.2.x libraries will be binary interchangeable - I certainly have not tried this. IMHO it would be better to use the .spec file to make a symlink. Can you check to see if these patches are still needed? Thanks for your report. I'm having trouble getting tix-8.1.3 to build cleanly in our setup so far. I'll try again before too long. The next rawhide package release should contain 8.1.3. Thanks. Also the patches in mention are no longer being applied. tix-1:8.1.3 should be in rawhide before too long. tix-8.1.4-84 should be in rawhide soon. |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.78 [en]C-{C-UDP; EBM-FUJITSU} (Win98; U) Description of problem: Tix has a new release at http://tix.sourceforge.net. The latest release is tix-8.1.3. Could you synchronize your release with this version, and let me know if there are any problems. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Download from http://tix.sourceforge.net/ 2.configure, make, install as usual 3.See if all outstanding bugs are fixed. Additional info: I'm having a little difficulty figuring out RedHat's releases/packages for tix. I would recommend against shipping the tix-8.2.0 beta (there's b3 currently on tix.sourceforge.net): tix-8.1.3 is more reliable when used from Python and Ruby. I don't expect 8.2.0 to go final until tk8.4 has been out for a while - there's till ongoing work integrating Tix with Python.
