Hide Forgot
http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-maintainers/2007-January/msg00339.html HelixPlayer is built without $RPM_OPT_FLAGS, thus without compiler security features and probably useless debuginfo. One approach to correct the flags is attached, however this patch makes the build fail for me on i386.

Based on the date this bug was created, it appears to have been reported against rawhide during the development of a Fedora release that is no longer maintained. In order to refocus our efforts as a project we are flagging all of the open bugs for releases which are no longer maintained. If this bug remains in NEEDINFO thirty (30) days from now, we will automatically close it. If you can reproduce this bug in a maintained Fedora version (7, 8, or rawhide), please change this bug to the respective version and change the status to ASSIGNED. (If you're unable to change the bug's version or status, add a comment to the bug and someone will change it for you.) Thanks for your help, and we apologize again that we haven't handled these issues to this point. The process we're following is outlined here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/F9CleanUp We will be following the process here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping to ensure this doesn't happen again.
Still clearly an issue with current Rawhide, from latest koji build logs: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/packages/HelixPlayer/1.0.9/2.fc9/data/logs/i386/build.log g++ --permissive -pipe -W -Wreturn-type -fno-rtti -fno-exceptions -mcpu=pentium -march=pentium -O2 -I../../common/runtime/pub [...no security related RPM_OPT_FLAGS or anything...]
Changing version to '9' as part of upcoming Fedora 9 GA. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
https://bugzilla.fedora.us/wiki/PackageMaintainers/RetiredPackages Looks like helixplayer has been removed from future Fedora versions.
