Description of problem: Hello. The automake build conditionally depends on /usr/bin/g77 ... --- %ifnarch %{arm} aarch64 # g77 is also not present on arm systems BuildRequires: /usr/bin/g77 %endif --- But it seems it doesn't serve it's purpose for 2 reasons ... 1.) I tried to build automake with and without g77 and the resulting RPMs did NOT differ at all. 2.) ifarch conditions should NOT be present in noarch builds as they cannot be evaluated correctly in koji/mock. Please, remove the /usr/bin/g77 BuildRequires as well as the ifnarch condition. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): automake-1.14.1-1.fc21
Jaromir, thanks for the report. (In reply to Jaromír Cápík from comment #0) > Description of problem: > > Hello. > > The automake build conditionally depends on /usr/bin/g77 ...

There are some g77 tests in automake's upstream testsuite conditionally enabled if g77 is installed. > 2.) ifarch conditions should NOT be present in noarch builds as they cannot > be evaluated correctly in koji/mock. I don't understand this sentence. What cannot be evaluated correctly? If the g77 carrying package is available, it is installed - and then tested by %check. > Please, remove the /usr/bin/g77 BuildRequires as well as the ifnarch > condition. Please explain the benefits of this removal, are we going to drop g77 tests for all architectures? If I could force koji to always choose i686/x86_64 builder, I could remove the %ifarch.. Pavel

What I am not sure is whether it is worth to disable some test cases which are usually run in koji (if the arm builder is not choosen). What is the real purpose for this request? Pavel
Oh, I see, it took some time but I got it! The %ifnarch macro always compares arguments with "noarch" string for noarch packages. I can imagine only _really_ ugly workarounds, so the commit: http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/automake.git/commit/?id=47ffbf12eceab
