Bug 892850

Hi Ankur,

unfornately, Boost 1.52+ will be available only from Fedora 19. Indeed, we (Petr Machata and I) plan to ship Boost 1.53 with Fedora 19: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/F19Boost153

On Fedora 18, it has been decided a long time ago that 1.50 will be the version of Boost landing on the Fedora repositories: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/F18Boost150

If you want / do not mind, you can amend that bug into the feature request for Boost 1.53 on Fedora 19. Otherwise, we will have to close that bug as "WON'T IMPLEMENT".

Thanks for your understanding

Kind regards

Denis

Hi Denis,

Thanks for the info. Changing it to Boost 1.53 for F19.

Warm regards,

Hi, 

Since boost 1.53 will only be made available in F19, I've packaged up odeint and will make it available in the meantime to F17,F18,rawhide. Once boost 1.53 is ready, we could obsolete odeint in >= F19?

Thanks,
Warm regards,
Ankur

Yes, as odeint will be part of Boost-1.53, the odeint package should be deprecated in Fedora 19+.

Ankur, let us know the package name when you have the package done, please.  I'll add the necessary Obsoletes: tags to F19 boost package.

Looks like boost 1.53.0 was released 2 days ago. Any chance of landing the update before the F19 mass rebuild starts on Friday?

Yes, it's on my radar.  I intend to finish the packaging tomorrow.

It has just been built.

Hi Petr,

The odeint package has just been approved. Can you please add the obsoletes to the boost package? The package name is "odeint-devel". Please see the review ticket in the "see also" bug list for more information. I'm going to build odeint sometime today. I'll wait for you to add the conflicts before I build for f19+ so we don't break the repos. 

Thanks,
Warm regards,
Ankur

These might need to be followed:

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#Renaming.2FReplacing_Existing_Packages

I got around to this today.  I added the necessary Obsoletes: and Provides:, and checked when installing F19 boost over F18 boost and odeint, yum correctly replaces odeint-devel with boost-devel and odeint-doc with boost-doc.  I'm currently spinning an update, and will push it afterwards.

Who will block odeint from Rawhide? It has been branched to F20, rebuilt and conflicts with boost now, since the Obsoletes are not high enough anymore.

Hm, can this be solved at all?  Should I just put in Obsoletes: odeint?  (I.e. without version predicate.)  Or odeint < 999-999 or something absurd like that that will never be over-bumped?  Couldn't odeint instead be disabled in branches where it's provided by Boost?

It's been blocked from F20. I think that should fix it already? I see a rawhide build though, so you may have to just incement the obsoletes one last time.

F19 etc. did not see a bump since there wasn't a rebuild, (and it won't see one from me either), so there shouldn't be a breakage there IMO.

Sorry for the extra work.

Thanks,
Warm regards,
Ankur
