Description DJ Delorie 2023-04-27 20:03:11 UTC
The package libcuefile appears to be a subset, copy, or extract of a larger project "cuetools".  I noticed that this extract includes files generated by bison and flex, but not the .y and .l files used to generate them.  src/cue_parse.c contains (among other things):

/* 
 * cue_parse.y -- parser for cue files
 * 
 * Copyright (C) 2004, 2005, 2006 Svend Sorensen
 * For license terms, see the file COPYING in this distribution.
 */

libcuefile claims to be from:
https://www.musepack.net/index.php
whick links to:
http://svn.musepack.net/libcuefile/trunk/

Likely "upstream" for libcuefile:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/cuetools.berlios/files/

That project notes that cuetools has moved to:
https://github.com/svend/cuetools

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Look at sources ;-)

Actual Results:  
.c and .h files are present, no .y or .l files


Expected Results:  
sources should include .y and .l files, and rules for building from them.

Comment 1 Yaakov Selkowitz 2023-04-27 20:33:02 UTC
It's a fork of a very old version of (part of) cuetools (which is not designed as a system library), and AFAICS they have directly modified the .c/.h files since then; the .y/.l are not even in the upstream SVN.

Comment 2 Fedora Release Engineering 2023-08-16 08:09:14 UTC
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora Linux 39 development cycle.
Changing version to 39.
