Description Siddhesh Poyarekar 2022-03-08 06:30:58 UTC
Description of problem:

The gettext snapshot tarball for latest rawhide build has been downloaded from:

https://gitlab.com/gnu-gettext/ci-distcheck/-/jobs/artifacts/master/raw/gettext-snapshot.tar?job=check-optimized

I couldn't find a reference on the gettext savannah project page or GNU project page that confirms that this gitlab project is a verified safe source for gettext snapshots.  There's only a reverse reference, i.e. to the savannah page from the gitlab page, which is not sufficient.

Desired result:

Savannah project page (or the GNU project page) for gettext should endorse the gitlab project as a trusted source from where one could use gettext snapshots.

Actual result:

No mention of the gitlab gettext project on the savannah gettext project page.

Comment 1 Siddhesh Poyarekar 2022-03-08 07:00:38 UTC
Sorry I should have mentioned the background to all this: with gettext snapshots, glibc builds fail in rawhide because the configure script cannot parse the yyyy-mm-dd version number.  If the snapshot source in gitlab is verified as an acceptable upstream source, I can fix up the configure check in upstream glibc to accommodate yyyy-mm-dd version numbers for gettext.  Otherwise the gettext version number should be fixed to a compatible version number so that the version checks don't fail.

gettext version has been fixed and built in rawhide https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=1931356

Comment 3 Siddhesh Poyarekar 2022-03-15 07:16:25 UTC
I just tested glibc scratch build (Florian had already dropped the workaround patch, I guess he noticed this update before I did) and can confirm that the issue is fixed.  Thanks!
