Packaging breaks PyQt in various ways
Last modified: 2008-06-16 22:34:32 EDT
Description of problem: The qt4 packages breaks the building from source of PyQt4 (from source in various different ways): 1. QT_SHARED is not defined when programs are compiled with qmake with the shared libraries. (google for multiple issues about this). 2. There is no default directory in /usr/share/qt4/mkspecs/ so PyQt4 configure can't find qmake.conf (as it is no longer under QT_DATA_DIR). Why has it been moved to /usr/lib64/qt4/mkspecs/default? Why are there two directories for these files? 3. The split of qconfig.h into different parts means that PyQt4 cannot check the licence of qt (using the definition of QT_EDITION). I'm not convinced the third is a real issue with the packaging, as PyQt should probably be not trying to parse the header file. I think the qt4 package should avoid breakage by fixing the QT_SHARED issue and not putting the qmake files under /usr/lib64 (which seems a crazy place as it's nothing to do with a library - is this LSB?). If the location of the qmake files is not a bug, what is the standard mechanism for locating them? Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): qt4-4.3.1-3.fc7
This message is a reminder that Fedora 7 is nearing the end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 7. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '7'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 7's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 7 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 please change the 'version' of this bug. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. If possible, it is recommended that you try the newest available Fedora distribution to see if your bug still exists. Please read the Release Notes for the newest Fedora distribution to make sure it will meet your needs: http://docs.fedoraproject.org/release-notes/ The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 7 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on June 13, 2008. Fedora 7 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 please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
