perl-Net-SSLeay-1.85-9.fc29 fails to build in F29 and F30: gcc -lpthread -shared -Wl,-z,relro -Wl,-z,now -specs=/usr/lib/rpm/redhat/redhat-hardened-ld -L/usr -L/usr/lib64 -L/usr/lib -L/usr/local/lib -fstack-protector-strong SSLeay.o -o blib/arch/auto/Net/SSLeay/SSLeay.so \ -L/usr -L/usr/lib64 -L/usr/lib -lssl -lcrypto -lz -lperl \ BUILDSTDERR: /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lz That's caused by openssl-devel-1.1.1b-4 that removed a dependency on zlib-devel and that was pushed into Fedora ≥ 29. A possible fix is applying commit f571bb6a6929c47b8323c6f2c5214cfefa9dcf37 Author: Paul Howarth <paul> Date: Sat Mar 30 08:06:53 2019 +0000 Get libraries to link against from pkg-config Upstream pull request: https://github.com/radiator-software/p5-net-ssleay/pull/127 to that Fedoras.
I was planning on waiting to see what upstream had to say about the PR (or even better, for a non-dev upstream release) before doing an update to a stable Fedora. Is there some good reason why an FTBFS in a stable Fedora branch should need a fix sooner?
In case of rebuilding perl-bootstrap Modularity module, it would be an issue. However, it's not planned right now, so it does not hurry.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 29 is nearing its end of life. Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 29 on 2019-11-26. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '29'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 29 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
Petr, is there any point doing this now?
None of the now supported perl-bootstrap streams use perl-Net-SSLeay. But the non-modular perl-Net-SSLeay package does not build anymore <https://koschei.fedoraproject.org/package/perl-Net-SSLeay>. I did not check the reason and Fedora 29 goes EOL soon, but it would be great to fix it in Fedora 30.
