missing ppc packages for compat-gcc-32
Last modified: 2007-11-30 17:11:38 EST
Description of problem: Binaries missing for ppc (in devel)?? They seem to be lacking since * Wed Jul 12 2006 Jesse Keating <jkeating@redhat.com> - 3.2.3-55.fc5.1 - rebuild Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: I don't have a ppc, but I have a dependency for some packages in fedora extras (cernlib, patchy, paw), that are built with g77 and therefore depends on libf2c and the missing deps are automatically found. I wanted to have a closer look at what was wrong with compat-32-libf2c but it seems to have disappeared from the ppc rpm download server, I cannot found them on http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/development/ppc/os/Fedora/RPMS/ Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
There were no ExcludeArch's added, so it sounds just that the buildsystem messed it up. I rebuilt it today, but not sure when it hits rawhide. In any case, you should consider using gfortran to compile even Fortran 77 stuff, it should these days subsume all the g77 features.
I have considered using gfortran since a long time (and submitted some bugs there when it broke...), but there are still g77 regressions and missing intrinsics, for example the cernlib still needs g77 for rshift and lshift. I guess you allready know that regressions are listed there: http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=19292 As long as all the bugs listed there and the intrinsics are not fixed, gfortran cannot be used for all the fortran 77.
