Created attachment 351627 [details] Suggested patch Description of problem: The readline package in rawhide will be soon updated to new 6.0 release which changes the license to GPLv3+. As clisp is GPLv2, it should be built with the older readline (packaged in compat-readline5) to avoid licensing incompatibility or switched to libedit which is compatible with GPLv3, but doesn't support UTF-8.
Working on this. I have a problem with clisp-2.48 on x86_64 where on of the test fails. However the patch for readline5 seems to be working.
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 12 development cycle. Changing version to '12'. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
This message is a reminder that Fedora 12 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 12. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 '12'. 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 12'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 12 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 to the applicable version. 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. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Still seems to be linked with readline6.
This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database. Reassigning to the new owner of this component.
I took a look at this yesterday. I don't think I want to go with compat-readline5, because we'd be stuck there forever. Neither the readline developers nor the CLisp developers seem likely to relicense their code, so we'd have no forward path. Therefore, I attempted to build with libedit. CLisp wanted one function that the version of libedit in Rawhide does not provide. However, there is a new upstream version that supplies that function, and also supports UTF-8. I have opened a bug against libedit asking for that new version to be built. As soon as that is resolved, we can resolve this bug.

Well, libedit was a no-go after all. Clisp wanted more functions from it that it doesn't supply. So we'll build with compat-readline5 for now, until libedit grows the rest of the API.
