The branch has been created. I pushed the Rawhide package to EPEL 9 because as discussed I think we should keep the branches as close as possible: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/coccinelle/tree/epel9 We may have to branch other ocaml-* packages (or other dependencies) in EPEL 9 as and when we discover what they are.
Scratch build: https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=83235786 I expect this to fail, but it's probably a good way to find out what dependencies are missing.
I think you should request branches (using BZ) for these packages: DEBUG util.py:444: No matching package to install: 'hevea' DEBUG util.py:444: No matching package to install: 'ocaml-menhir' DEBUG util.py:444: No matching package to install: 'ocaml-num-devel' DEBUG util.py:444: No matching package to install: 'ocaml-parmap-devel' DEBUG util.py:444: No matching package to install: 'ocaml-pcre-devel' The following texlive packages are going to be more difficult to handle. AIUI we cannot easily add these to EPEL. The best thing in this case is likely to disable documentation generation. It's an easy change to conditionalize that in the spec file: DEBUG util.py:444: No matching package to install: 'texlive-boxedminipage' DEBUG util.py:444: No matching package to install: 'texlive-comment' DEBUG util.py:444: No matching package to install: 'texlive-endnotes' DEBUG util.py:444: No matching package to install: 'texlive-ifsym' DEBUG util.py:444: No matching package to install: 'texlive-moreverb' DEBUG util.py:444: No matching package to install: 'texlive-xypic'
I conditionalized the docs. In fact the only OCaml packages that need to be added are: hevea ocaml-menhir ocaml-num ocaml-parmap ocaml-pcre ocaml-result ocaml-graphics
OK. I will request those. By the way, when I build the epel9, this is the only package I need: BuildRequires: git BuildRequires: autoconf BuildRequires: automake BuildRequires: ocaml >= 3.10.0 BuildRequires: ocaml-findlib-devel BuildRequires: ocaml-ocamldoc BuildRequires: python3-devel BuildRequires: bash-completion BuildRequires: make BuildRequires: pcre-devel I was able to build for Fedora34 and Fedora35 without those packages at all. Do you think we really need the above packages? When I look at the coccinelle-1.1.1 source, it actually provide the following: Provides: bundled(ocaml-pycaml) = 20200220 Provides: bundled(ocaml-stdcompat) = 15 Provides: bundled(ocaml-parmap) = 1.0-rc7 Provides: bundled(ocaml-menhir) = 20181113 Provides: bundled(ocaml-pcre) = v7.2.3 Thanks again for your help.
Yes, we must have them to avoid using the bundles: https://github.com/coccinelle/coccinelle/tree/master/bundles except for pycaml and stdcompat where we were granted a special exception.
Got it. I have requested for the following: hevea: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2058263 ocaml-menhir: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2058268 ocaml-num: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2058273 ocaml-pcre: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2058272 ocaml-result: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2058274 However, there is no ocaml-parmap ocaml-graphics on the component list.
These do exist as packages: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/ocaml-parmap https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/ocaml-graphics I also checked that they do not already exist in RHEL. While they don't exist on the Bugzilla component list, which is strange, it does say in the instructions what to do: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/epel/epel-package-request/
The other branches have been created, but I'm still waiting for the bug requests per comment 9 above.
Sorry, I was out yesterday. I will take care of those two package today.
By the way, when I tried to do a epel9 build a few days ago with fedpkg mockbuild, I actually got the following missing packagae: Last metadata expiration check: 0:00:37 ago on Sun Feb 27 19:46:32 2022. Package make-1:4.3-7.el9.x86_64 is already installed. No matching package to install: 'ocaml-menhir' No matching package to install: 'ocaml-num-devel' No matching package to install: 'ocaml-parmap-devel' No matching package to install: 'ocaml-pcre-devel' Not all dependencies satisfied Error: Some packages could not be found. And they are not in current epel9 packages, should I also do the same request? Thanks!
It's probably better to do: $ fedpkg build --scratch --srpm In particular that will show that RHEL buildroot packages like ocaml and ocaml-dune are also missing from EPEL. See thread on epel-devel. https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/epel-devel@lists.fedoraproject.org/thread/FHC3MQZNRT72QL6TPVZCQORYBGSJZMDO/
Here are the bugid for the other two packages: ocaml-parmap: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2059802 ocaml-graphics: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2059804
Hi Rich, Since we won't have all the ocaml packages until end of this year, I am wondering if you want to use the spec file that I have which doesn't require all the ocaml packages to build so we can provide coccinelle for RHEL9? Thanks! Chung
We don't even have dune so that won't help. And we cannot bundle packages because of Fedora policy reasons. There's nothing much I can suggest at the moment as I'm incredibly busy with work, but you might want to ask on epel-devel if there's a sensible way to proceed here.
*** Bug 2098482 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Hi Rich, I read the epel-devel thread mentioned on comment 13 and in that you mention that on RHEL9.1 it might be possible to build coccinelle, is there any update on this? Thanks, Martin
I don't really know why I'm the assignee on this bug as I'm the Fedora maintainer, not the EPEL maintainer. Please ask on epel-devel if someone there can help.
