Description Kaleb KEITHLEY 2018-01-18 20:21:27 UTC
Description of problem:

See $Summary. Other Linux distributions are doing the same; some others already have.

Switch to libtirpc(-devel) and unbundled rpcgen packages. For now rpcgen is still provided by the glibc-rpcgen RPM, but rpcsvc-proto's rpcgen subpackage is available now but will not be used until glibc-rpcgen is retired. (note, rpcsvc-proto's rpcgen is just named rpcgen-...rpm. I.e. not rpcsvc-proto-rpcgen.) Right now either one will satisfy the BuildRequires: rpcgen.

Also, when a .spec file has
  BuildRequires: foo-devel
it is not necessary to also have:
  BuildRequires: foo
or even:
  BuildRequires: foo foo-devel

The foo-devel package has a dependency on foo, which will install foo automatically. It's usually also not necessary to have a corresponding
  Requires: foo

as the rpmbuild process will also automatically determine the install-time dependencies.

Other Linux distributions are doing the same; some others have already
done so.

Switch to libtirpc(-devel) and unbundled rpcgen packages. For now
rpcgen is still provided by the glibc-rpcgen RPM, but rpcsvc-proto's
rpcgen subpackage is available now but will not be used until
glibc-rpcgen is retired. (note, rpcsvc-proto's rpcgen is just named
rpcgen-...rpm. I.e. not rpcsvc-proto-rpcgen.) Right now either one
will satisfy the BuildRequires: rpcgen.

Also, when a .spec file has
  BuildRequires: foo-devel
it is not necessary to also have:
  BuildRequires: foo
or even:
  BuildRequires: foo foo-devel

The foo-devel package has a dependency on foo, which will install foo
automatically. It's usually also not necessary to have a corresponding
  Requires: foo
as the rpmbuild process will also automatically determine the
install-time dependencies.

And other minor glusterfs.spec.in cleanup of ipv6-default, including
sorting the argument definitions because the comment says "keep them
sorted" (Though nobody appears to have ever sorted them in the first
place.)

COMMIT: https://review.gluster.org/19311 committed in master by \"Niels de Vos\" <ndevos> with a commit message- build: use libtirpc by default, even if ipv6 is not the default

An error sneaked in with Change-Id I86f847dfd. The check for requiring
libtirpc-devel should be done regardless of the ipv6-default. Even if
IPv6 is not the default, libtirpc-devel should be used unless it is
explicitly requested by a --without option.

libtirpc can not be used on EL6 and EL7 yet. The EL7 version does not
provide xdr_sizeof(), in addition to that, EL6 does not have
xdr_uint32_t() and xdr_uint64_t().

Another error snuck in with Change-Id I86f847dfd, or more
accurately I think, with Change-Id: Ic47065e9c2...

All libs, not just libgfrpc, need to be linked with libtirpc,
especially on systems that still have xdr functions in (g)libc
where you will get a mixture of calls to libtirpc functions
and glibc functions, with catastrophic results.

COMMIT: https://review.gluster.org/19324 committed in master by "Amar Tumballi" <amarts> with a commit message- build: Remove unwanted autoconf messages for libtirpc

AC_MSG_RESULT is normally used when it is preceded by AC_MSG_CHECKING
during explicit checking of certain requirements. With PKG_CHECK_MODULES
being used for checking the presence of libtirpc itself generates the
following message:

checking for TIRPC... yes

This bug is getting closed because a release has been made available that should address the reported issue. In case the problem is still not fixed with glusterfs-v4.1.0, please open a new bug report.

glusterfs-v4.1.0 has been announced on the Gluster mailinglists [1], packages for several distributions should become available in the near future. Keep an eye on the Gluster Users mailinglist [2] and the update infrastructure for your distribution.
