Description Tom Lane 2011-10-26 14:19:34 UTC 
Description of problem:
As of rawhide tip, a distressingly large fraction of glib2-using programs FTBFS with

/usr/include/glib-2.0/glib/gmacros.h:32:2: error: #error "Only <glib.h> can be included directly."

or variants of that.  If this isn't an outright bug, it represents a draconian API narrowing that maybe you'd better reconsider.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
glib2-devel-2.31.0-1.fc17

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Try to build a lot of Fedora packages in mock with -r fedora-rawhide-x86_64,
for instance abiword, audacity, gnome-chemistry-utils (there are lots more)

Actual results:
I'm seeing a lot of failures that seem unrelated to what I actually intended to test.

Expected results:
These packages must have built not too long ago.

Comment 1 Matthias Clasen 2011-10-26 14:43:26 UTC 
Not a bug, just a change. 
It has been recommended for a long time to that you only include <glib.h>.
This is now being enforced in GLib 2.31
