Description Troy Dawson 2022-03-15 18:22:00 UTC
Please branch and build gnuplot in epel9.

If you do not wish to maintain gnuplot in epel9,
or do not think you will be able to do this in a timely manner,
I would be happy to be a co-maintainer of the package. (FES: tdawson)
Please add me through https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/gnuplot/adduser

Comment 1 Troy Dawson 2022-03-15 18:23:16 UTC
gnuplot used to be in RHEL, but it is not in RHEL9.
Also, it will not build in epel9 without libcerf.  I have also requested that package.

Comment 2 Troy Dawson 2022-03-17 15:05:17 UTC
libcerf has been built and has been tagged into override.
I have tested and the rawhide package now builds in EPEL9 without any changes.

Comment 3 Pavel Cahyna 2022-03-24 16:36:15 UTC
Thanks for testing the build, I requested the branch to be created.

Comment 4 Pavel Cahyna 2022-03-25 09:14:35 UTC
Hello Troy,

the branch is now created and populated. I tried a scratch build: https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=84686552
and it failed with "No matching package to install: 'libcerf-devel >= 1.11'". Is there some special magic to invoke in order to use libcerf that you have built?

Comment 5 Orion Poplawski 2022-03-25 12:41:10 UTC
You need a buildroot override.  Troy's expired so I extended it: https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/overrides/libcerf-1.17-2.el9  .  Run:

koji wait-repo epel9-build --build=libcerf-1.17-2.el9

To make sure it is active.

Comment 6 Pavel Cahyna 2022-03-25 13:26:12 UTC
Thank you Orion, this works.

Sorry for not being familiar with buildroot mechanics - does that mean that the override will need to be recreated every time one needs to rebuild the package, or will the dependency get into the buildroot eventually?

When you set an override, you have to set a time limit.  The package stays in the override, and available to builds, until that time limit is up.
Once a package makes it into stable (the main epel9 repository) then it is automatically available in the builds, and no longer needs an override.
Since a new package, or package update, needs 7 days in -testing, or +3 karma, I set my override to 7 days, thinking that would be enough.
But I forgot that it often takes a day or two to get into -testing, and a day or two to get into stable.  Thus, my original override wasn't long enough.
