Description Milan Bouchet-Valat 2024-05-04 10:09:06 UTC
Julia is currently outdated on F40 and suffers from severe issues, as the build has been failing for some time (bug 2274270, bug 2240448). Unfortunately, the only version I could get to build is 1.11, which Cantor currently doesn't support. I've tried rebuilding the RPM and I get this:
/home/milan/rpmbuild/BUILD/cantor-24.02.2/src/backends/julia/juliaserver/juliaserver.cpp: In member function ‘void JuliaServer::parseJlModule(jl_module_t*, bool)’:
/home/milan/rpmbuild/BUILD/cantor-24.02.2/src/backends/julia/juliaserver/juliaserver.cpp:171:39: error: ‘jl_array_data’ was not declared in this scope
  171 |     jl_value_t **data = (jl_value_t**)jl_array_data(names);
      |                                       ^~~~~~~~~~~~~

Julia 1.11 does not even allow the cantor RPM to install, as it requires libjulia.so.1 but now julia provides only libjulia.so.1.11 (and rightfully so given that it's not ABI compatible).

Would you mind disabling Julia support for now? It seems that the lesser of the two evils is to have Julia working standalone but not in Cantor, as having a broken Julia prevents using it in Cantor too.

Reproducible: Always

This message is a reminder that Fedora Linux 40 is nearing its end of life.
Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora Linux 40 on 2025-05-13.
It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer
maintained.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 '40'.

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 40 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.

Fedora Linux 40 entered end-of-life (EOL) status on 2025-05-13.

Fedora Linux 40 is no longer maintained, which means that it
will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we
are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora Linux
please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Note that the version
field may be hidden. Click the "Show advanced fields" button if you do not see
the version field.

If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against an
active release.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
