The package needs to be rebuilt against python 2.7 in both F14 and devel. Information on the new "dist-git" system can be seen here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Using_Fedora_GIT Information on common difficulties with Python 2.7 rebuilds can be seen here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/Python_2.7 Once it's been successfully rebuilt for F14, an update needs to be filed to get the rebuild into F14: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/new/ Please add this bug to the update, to make it easy to track what's been done, and what's left to do. Thanks! You can see the current failure in: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=2367832 libhid requires: SWIG version >= 1.3 is required. You have 2.0.0. You should look at http://www.swig.org And therefore can't build the python extension.
Created attachment 435714 [details] This fixes the rebuild Patch updates the swig version that's needed to build. However, I can't test this so I don't know if this is okay or not.
Also, I noted that the second patch in the current srpm is very fragile. You shouldn't be patching configure after running autoreconf. Changes in autoreconf could cause the patch to fail to apply. Change this to patch configure.ac before running autoreconf.
And here's the scratch build with the patch added. http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=2368023
I fixed this package. Basically I did the same thing via sed. Sorry for skipping your work :(
