Description of problem: Due to rebase of the gettext in RHEL-5.6 to the version 0.17(http://bugzilla.redhat.com/523713) we started rebuilds of all packages which do depend on gettext. Your package now fails to build from SRPM in brew. Please check the error and try to find the fix to prevent delays in build of the future security advisories. The fail seems to be unrelated to the gettext rebase. https://brewweb.devel.redhat.com/taskinfo?taskID=3025893 Total time: 0 seconds .................... done. ................... done. ........................... done. ....................... done. ..................... done. .................................. done. ..................... done. ...................... done. ..................... done. ........................ done. .......................... done. ........................................... done. + ant Buildfile: build.xml all: prepare: [mkdir] Created dir: /builddir/build/BUILD/postgresql-jdbc-8.1.407/build [mkdir] Created dir: /builddir/build/BUILD/postgresql-jdbc-8.1.407/jars check_versions: BUILD FAILED /builddir/build/BUILD/postgresql-jdbc-8.1.407/build.xml:83: The following error occurred while executing this line: /builddir/build/BUILD/postgresql-jdbc-8.1.407/build.xml:57: Building with JDK 1.6 not supported.

According to Deepak Bhole, the problem is that JDK 1.6 is now the default on RHEL-5. postgresql-jdbc 8.1 will only build against JDK 1.4 or 1.5; and that's not something easily fixed because a transition from JDBC3 to JDBC4 is involved. Short of rebasing to postgresql-jdbc 8.2 or later, we would need to work around it by forcing use of an older java-devel version, like this: diff -u -r1.9 postgresql-jdbc.spec --- postgresql-jdbc.spec 16 Aug 2006 21:56:22 -0000 1.9 +++ postgresql-jdbc.spec 14 Jan 2011 21:02:14 -0000 @@ -55,6 +55,7 @@ BuildRequires: ant-junit >= 0:1.6.2 BuildRequires: junit >= 0:3.7 BuildRequires: findutils gettext +BuildRequires: java-devel < 1:1.6.0 %if %{gcj_support} BuildRequires: gcc-java Requires(post): /usr/bin/rebuild-gcj-db He further recommends this: @@ -84,6 +85,9 @@ export OPT_JAR_LIST="ant/ant-junit junit" export CLASSPATH= sh update-translations.sh + +export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-gcj/ +export PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH ant %install to ensure gcj is used even if the system's "alternatives" configuration tries to select non-gcj build. I'm not planning to do anything about this right now, but this will be a must-fix if we ever turn the package.
Since RHEL-5 has now entered production phase 2, postgresql-jdbc is only going to get rebuilt if a security bug or other critical bug turns up, which now seems unlikely. I'm leaving this bug open, since it will be a blocker if that does happen, but the odds are good it will never be fixed.
This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion in the current release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Because the affected component is not scheduled to be updated in the current release, Red Hat is unable to address this request at this time. Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to propose this request, if appropriate, in the next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
This bug/component is not included in scope for RHEL-5.11.0 which is the last RHEL5 minor release. This Bugzilla will soon be CLOSED as WONTFIX (at the end of RHEL5.11 development phase (Apr 22, 2014)). Please contact your account manager or support representative in case you need to escalate this bug.
Let's close that WONTFIX, this will need to be fixed in the unlikely scenario of postgresql-jdbc RHEL-5 update anyway.
