Your package fails to build with the newest upcoming autoconf-2.71, which is part of a wide Fedora change. Please see the attached copr: https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/odubaj/autoconf-2.70/packages/. More information about testing your package when building with autoconf available here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Autoconf_271#How_To_Test
Upstream issue: https://github.com/libstatgrab/libstatgrab/issues/129 just created.
Upstream has a fix: https://github.com/libstatgrab/libstatgrab/pull/128 Asking on IRC if we can get a new release... otherwise we can just pull in the one patch for rawhide.
Gentle ping.
Hi, any updates here please ? Thanks.
https://github.com/libstatgrab/libstatgrab/pull/128 has been merged AFAICS. However, no new release has been built (since 2019 actually). I asked in issue 129 if they intend to build a new release soon or not. IMHO, @TicoTimo could update source/SPEC now with the single patch; Given it has been accepted upstream.
That would be great. Thanks for you effort!
I only pinged on the issue... No too much effort so far :-) I can also pull the single patch into our (Fedora) repo, if Tim doesn't find the time; Or @jima can maybe do it, if Tim allows - I think he is co-maintainer if I remember correctly.
If new release will come in ~2 months, there is no need to do double work and backport a single patch :) If we do not know when the new release will come, I would prefer backporting the patch to Fedora and mark this issue as resolved.
A few minutes ago on the GH issue: """I want to fix FBSD12 vmmeter issue before ... thank to new laptop I can install appropriate VM soon.""" So maybe worth waiting a bit. Backporting is still an option then. We just shouldn't loose sight on it.
FWIW, I pinged upstream again on irc for a new release. There are several commits since 0.92 and I don’t want to be the human that decides which to include in Fedora. If you feel strongly otherwise, comment and we can add the tech debt. Or you too can join freenode #libstatgrab and become a voice for change.
Seems like there is still the vmmeter struct open which they want to fix before a new release.
We have still some time to wait, thank you for information.
libstatgrab 0.92.1 is now available.

https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/odubaj/autoconf-2.70/build/2352954/ Seems like we can close this @ofalk @odubaj ?
Looks good from my POV!
Based on clean build and Oliver Falk LGTM, closing.
