Description of problem: lcov 1.16 was released in June 2022: https://github.com/linux-test-project/lcov/releases Please consider to update all active fedora and epel branches to this version.
This message is a reminder that Fedora Linux 36 is nearing its end of life. Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora Linux 36 on 2023-05-16. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a 'version' of '36'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, change the 'version' to a later Fedora Linux version. Note that the version field may be hidden. Click the "Show advanced fields" button if you do not see it. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora Linux 36 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora Linux, you are encouraged to change the 'version' to a later version prior to this bug being closed.
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora Linux 39 development cycle. Changing version to 39.
This issue (of an outdated lcov package) is indeed still present in Fedora 39. Although by now, lcov version 2.0 is released (May 25 2023). What I think I see happening here, is that the lcov project used to be located on sourceforge over here : https://ltp.sourceforge.net/coverage/lcov.php However, these pages are no longer updated, and the project has moved over to github. The last version listed on the outdated and unmaintained sourceforge pages is lcov 1.14 (released feb 2019, and which is the version currently in the Fedora repo). So the package maintainer may have missed that the project has moved from sourceforge to github. The current / latest versions are now on github over here : https://github.com/linux-test-project/lcov/releases
Thanks, I have fixed release monitoring now: https://release-monitoring.org/project/346328/
(In reply to Terje Røsten from comment #4) > Thanks, I have fixed release monitoring now: > https://release-monitoring.org/project/346328/ Thanks. The only thing that my obviously uninformed mind can now still think of, is that the 'status' part of the 'release monitoring' site you linked to (obviously) still states that the current status is 'ok' as of '2023-11-27' and that there's 'No new version found' (since the last release was May 25 2023, which is in the past relative to the current date). Does this imply that some further steps need to be taken in order to get lcov 2.0 (or newer, if released) in Fedora 39 or 40 ?
As seen here: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/lcov release monitoring is any way disabled, so this don't change anything in itself.
