Created attachment 1384131 [details] updated libmpc specfile Dear libmpc maintainers. I am in the process of updating the mpfr package to version 4.0.0 (see https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/mpfr-4.0.0), but, in order to do so, the libmpc package must first be updated to version 1.0.0. This is because libmpc needed to be changed to support api changes in mpfr 4.0.0. I request that the libmpc package be updated to version 1.1.0 on rawhide, to enable the mpfr r.0.0 update to go through. Presumably this change will be eligible for a system-wide change deadline waiver from FESCo, since the mpfr 4.0.0 update has already been approved (see https://pagure.io/fesco/issue/1823), and I will request it if needed. I attach a specfile which updates mpc to 1.1.0, and also fixes an issue in the compat-libmpc build mechanism. A successful koji build of the above: https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=24354629 With thanks, James.
Having said that, the new mpc lib does not bump the soname, so might not even count as a system-wide change.
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 28 development cycle. Changing version to '28'.
This is blocking some other changes for F28. Please respond. The attachment contains a spec file patch, do you have anything against somebody else just updating mpc with that patch?
I guess go ahead; I haven't really been active in maintaining libmpc.
@Marek: understood, thanks for the reply. I fired off a built with the attached patch and some additional small changes in rawhide. @James: if you want this in F28 too, let me know (since the Change has been postponed).
Actually, the build failed because I forgot to update sources. But actually, @James, do you want this built in rawhide now?
If you can, yes please. If not, no worries - the MPFR 4 update will be deferred to F29 for various reasons. Marek, I'm happy to take over this package, if you no longer maintain it. Let me know.

Thanks, I think that would make sense seeing that I'm unlikely to have time to be active in maintaining it (sorry about that).
No problem. I can take it from here.
