Description David Jaša 2011-08-22 10:04:44 UTC
Description of problem:
first line of balsa.spec file contains:
%define config_opts (some opts) --with-gmime=2.4 (other opts)
and then in BuildRequires:
BuildRequires: gmime-devel >= 2.5.1

RHEL 6 contains gmime 2.4.x so there should be added condition that for .el6 builds, '--with-gmime=2.4' and 'BuildRequires: gmime-devel >= 2.4' should be used

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
balsa-2.4.9-6

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:

I am not sure if I understand fully the report. el6 branch uses balsa-2.4.7 not 2.4.9, as far as I can tell. Can you please specify which exactly branch do you want to have patched, and preferably provide patch if you can list the changes specifically. Thank you.

Because the package for .el6 isn't built, I've grabbed latest .src.rpm and tried to rebuild it.

I'll only outline it here because I don't have detailed knowledge of RPM packaging (this just mimicks wireshark.spec):

=========

%if 0%{?fedora} == 0
%define gmime_ver 2.6
%else
%define gmime_ver 2.4
%endif

%define config_opts (...) --with-gmime=%{gmime_ver} (...)

(...)

BuildRequires: gmime-devel >= %{gmime_ver} 

(Assuming that 2.5 is no longer used in any active branch, otherwise another %if-%else-%endif would have to be used.)

The versions should be vice versa (2.4 in %if and 2.6 in %else)

I rather have branched version of spec file. Please check out the updated one. It builds fine with fedpkg mockbuild.

Where can I get the updated one? I can't find in in koji, git etc.

Comment 6 Pawel Salek 2011-09-15 17:40:09 UTC
You should be able to find in git. I see it there.

This message is a reminder that EPEL 6 is nearing its end of life. Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for EPEL 6 on 2020-11-30. It is our policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a 'version' of 'el6'.

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 EPEL version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before EPEL 6 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, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Comment 9 Ben Cotton 2020-11-30 15:56:00 UTC
EPEL el6 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2020-11-30. EPEL el6 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
EPEL please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
