Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 delivers libvcnserver package. Because of that EPEL 7 cannot deliver the same package <https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL/GuidelinesAndPolicies#Policy>. Please remove libvncserver package from EPEL 7 repository.
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/libvncserver/c/6d3410a3556c8f44ba175a1a42545c91a20e2489?branch=epel7 https://pagure.io/releng/issue/7605
Please revert the change, this is a limited arch package for ppc64. I will update it to the current base that is in RHEL: libvncserver-0.9.9-11.el7.src.rpm --> libvncserver-0.9.9-0.11.el7.src.rpm
Then change EPEL build in the way (ExcludeArch: x86_64, ppc64le) that it does not overlap with architectures supported by RHEL.
This is not overlapping at all, that's why the package guidelines state to prepend the release with a "0.". The official package will always win: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL:Packaging#Limited_Arch_Packages
Excerpt: "Change the release of the package to have a leading 0. EXAMPLE: RHEL has foobar-1.0-1, you change it to foobar-1.0-0.1 for EPEL. Add a Changelog entry that the package was added to EPEL and has a 0 leading version to keep it older than RHEL."
So this is exactly the state it was (it was just missing an update to 0.9.9-11 (0.9.9-0.11).
Well, actually with the recent updates is: libvncserver-0.9.9-12.el7_5.src.rpm --> libvncserver-0.9.9-0.12.el7_5.src.rpm
I updated it but it's blocked in Koji: https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=27998743 "BuildError: package libvncserver is blocked for tag epel7-testing-candidate" Sorry for the double spam, I'm updating both the releng ticket and this bug; don't know which one I should update.
Sorry about the confusion, can you please add a .spec comment near the top somewhere for posterity?
Sure, absolutely, actually it was written in the changelog, but I will make it clear at the top. Can you update / close the relevant releng ticket and unblock koji? https://pagure.io/releng/issue/7605
Block removed, rebuilding and pushing the libvncserver update for ppc64. Thanks.
