Description of problem: vtk needs to be rebuilt against python-2.7 in devel and F-14. The python bindings are needed for Mayavi at least. I could help out with this but at present, the vtk package in cvs/git seems to be missing a patch: vtk-5.6.0-testcxxjavaremove.patch Pasting some common information about this rebuild since some things have changed in the build system in the last couple days: 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!
See: http://atrpms.net/dist/el5/vtk/vtk-5.6.0-34.src.rpm.html Patch appears to be present in: http://atrpms.net/dist/el5/vtk/vtk-5.6.0-34.src.rpm Attaching vtk-5.6.0-testcxxjavaremove.patch from that src.rpm
Created attachment 435808 [details] Patch taken from atrpms.net build of vtk for EL5
Scratch build with the patch failed: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=2370496 with (as far as I can tell): -- Could NOT find PythonLibs (missing: PYTHON_LIBRARIES PYTHON_INCLUDE_DIRS) -- Could NOT find PythonLibs (missing: PYTHON_LIBRARIES PYTHON_INCLUDE_DIRS)
"VTK/CMake/FindPythonLibs.cmake" has: FOREACH(_CURRENT_VERSION 2.6 2.5 2.4 2.3 2.2 2.1 2.0 1.6 1.5) Looks like 2.7 needs to be added here.
I just checked out vtk to add a patch to fix the find python issue but see that the vtk-5.6.0-testcxxjavaremove.patch seems to have been added to the spec but not checked in to git - or at least it is not in my checkout. Dave - are you working on this?
Yes - successful scratch build here: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=2370582 Committed to f14 and building as: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=2370757 Committed to master and building for F15 as: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=2370761
