Patch removing tophide from mikmatch META file none

Description bugzilla 2010-06-12 02:24:25 UTC
Description of problem:

Compilation of code that uses mikmatch fails because the tophide library (http://martin.jambon.free.fr/ocaml.html#tophide) is missing.  Tophide does not currently seem to be packaged for Fedora, so the Fedora mikmatch package is unusable unless this dependency is installed from source code.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

1.0.2-2.fc13

Steps to Reproduce:

1. yum install ocaml-mikmatch-devel
2. touch empty.ml
3. ocamlfind ocamlopt -package mikmatch_pcre -linkpkg empty.ml
  
Actual results:

ocamlfind: Package `tophide' not found - Required by `mikmatch_pcre'

Expected results:

a.out created successfully

Comment 1 Bug Zapper 2011-06-02 11:10:17 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 13 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 13.  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bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 '13'.

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 13'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 13 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:

Comment 2 Michael Ekstrand 2011-06-07 00:57:35 UTC
This bug still exists in F15. I don't think tophide is actually needed except in the toplevel, so a preliminary fix that just removes the tophide dependency should work in the near term.

Patch removing tophide from mikmatch META file

The attached patch removes tophide from the META file in mikmatch.  It is sufficient to allow programs to be compiled against mikmatch.  I do not know what the impact on the toplevel is.

Comment 4 Richard W.M. Jones 2011-06-07 10:12:23 UTC
Michael, are you a proven packager?  If so, just commit
this change please.

Comment 5 Michael Ekstrand 2011-06-07 13:34:02 UTC
No, I am not.  I haven't signed the FPCA yet either, but would be happy to do so.

Go and sign it, then I can give you access to the two
packages in question (bug 711261).

I will have to act as sponsor too.
