Description Richard Shaw 2013-08-27 12:56:56 UTC
Description of problem:
The latest version of fldigi dropped support for fltk releases less than 1.3 and I was planning on an EPEL branch.

Affected packages seem to be:
# repoquery --resolve --whatrequires fltk
fltk-0:1.1.10-1.el6.x86_64
fltk-0:1.1.10-1.el6.i686
Pixie-0:2.2.6-3.el6.i686
Pixie-0:2.2.6-3.el6.x86_64
alsamixergui-0:0.9.0-0.9.rc2.el6.x86_64
aqsis-0:1.6.0-3.el6.x86_64
aqsis-libs-0:1.6.0-3.el6.i686
aqsis-libs-0:1.6.0-3.el6.x86_64
fltk-devel-0:1.1.10-1.el6.i686
fltk-devel-0:1.1.10-1.el6.x86_64
fltk-fluid-0:1.1.10-1.el6.x86_64
htmldoc-0:1.8.27-13.el6.x86_64
mup-0:6.1-4.el6.x86_64
octave-6:3.4.3-1.el6.i686
octave-6:3.4.3-1.el6.x86_64
rakarrack-0:0.5.8-2.el6.x86_64

CC'ing Nicolas, the maintainer of Pixie and aqsis, as he objected to the upgrade but did not provide any rationale.

Comment 1 Nicolas Chauvet (kwizart) 2013-10-01 21:29:21 UTC
I don't want any ABI break for EL6, that's an enough rationale.
Please try not to waste others time.

Comment 2 Rex Dieter 2013-10-01 21:36:15 UTC
Are you saying Pixie or aqsis won't or can't work with any newer fltk? or other known problems?

Fwiw, even RHEL does tech updates breaking abi in minor releases for good reasons occasionally, rejecting doing so here without further rationale is slightly less than constructive.

Comment 3 Richard Shaw 2013-12-30 13:35:45 UTC
Unless we plan on staying at 1.1 forever, I think it would be appropriate to update fltk for EL7.

Comment 4 Rex Dieter 2013-12-30 14:34:09 UTC
Updating to the latest for el7 is pretty much a given imho, no need to (re)open this bug for that.

Comment 5 Orion Poplawski 2015-02-18 17:30:00 UTC
fltk is in RHEL7 it seems:

fltk.x86_64     1.3.0-13.el7               base
