Created attachment 523877 [details] Build with $RPM_OPT_FLAGS and $RPM_LD_FLAGS espeak 1.45.05-2 is not built with $RPM_OPT_FLAGS; 1.43-4 did not have this problem. http://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/packages/espeak/1.45.05/2.fc17/data/logs/x86_64/build.log Fix attached. Regarding $RPM_LD_FLAGS this patch adds "while at it", see http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/devel/2011-August/155358.html
Ville thanks, applied. Kamil, such regressions could be caught automatically, couldn't it? http://autoqa.fedoraproject.org/results/194309-autotest/qa06.qa.fedoraproject.org/depcheck/results/espeak-1.45.05-1.fc1.html
I have submitted the script I use to look for problems like this (and which in fact caught this one) to AutoQA about 2 years ago but not much has happened: https://fedorahosted.org/autoqa/ticket/59 Also, rpmlint has issued errors for empty debuginfo packages and ones without sources for a long time, those too would have caught this one.
Unfortunately we currently don't have resources to execute these tests. Loads of new proposed test cases, unfinished software architecture and scarce development power. Very sorry :-/
