Comment 24 Dan Horák 2021-06-29 12:02:42 UTC
for the record, I see test failures on aarch64, ppc64le, x86_64 (armv7 and s390x are OK) when building commit ee3ef737857e13cc01a15dbef298478d90188805 in our multi-arch CI (internal to RH). Commit 9fa94c607852081adce33547bde292fe4313cff7 was green on all our arches.

There were new test cases inserted between those commits, and then a subsequent commit removed compiler warnings that would cause test-case failures (https://github.com/libffi/libffi/commit/1ed0aa73806872f0c31dccf2c689c762239d3353).  Looking forward to the 3.4.2 tests (this one: https://github.com/libffi/libffi/commit/f9ea41683444ebe11cfa45b05223899764df28fb ).  Thanks!

Comment 26 Dan Horák 2021-06-29 12:27:56 UTC
good news, we do the CI rebuilds daily, if there is a change, so we will see later today

Comment 28 Upstream Release Monitoring 2021-06-29 19:13:35 UTC
One or more of the new sources for this package are identical to the old sources. This is most likely caused either by identical source files between releases, for example service files, or the specfile does not use version macro in its source URLs. If this is the second case, then please update the specfile to use version macro in its source URLs.

Comment 29 Upstream Release Monitoring 2021-06-29 19:13:37 UTC
Skipping the scratch build because an SRPM could not be built: ['git', 'commit', '-a', '-m', 'Update to 3.4.2 (#873990)'] returned 1: b'On branch rawhide\nYour branch is up to date with \'origin/rawhide\'.\n\nUntracked files:\n  (use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed)\n\tSRPMS/\n\nnothing added to commit but untracked files present (use "git add" to track)\n'

Comment 30 Carlos O'Donell 2021-06-29 19:15:51 UTC
I have a side-tag in Fedora Rawhide already with libffi3.1 and libffi (3.4.2) in testing.

In the side-tag I tested:
dnf PASS
gobject-introspection PASS
glib2 PASS
p11-kit PASS
rubygem-ffi PASS
python3.9 PASS
guile22 PASS
git-annex PASS
php PASS

It looks quite good and libffi3.1 ensures operation of old binaries with compat package.

Comment 31 Zuzana Miklankova 2021-11-11 12:04:36 UTC
Hello, is there please some update on rebasing libffi to newer version?

> Hello, is there please some update on rebasing libffi to newer version?

Yes, this is blocked on me. The work is done, but in Rawhide we need to rebuild a large number of packages and I need to get some help with that.

I'll add the note that the rebase came in late in Fedora 35 and so was rejected there, and it was accepted in Fedora 36:

And can I help somehow?

Comment 35 Miro Hrončok 2021-11-19 09:02:23 UTC
I am also available to help with the rebuilds.

Comment 36 Miro Hrončok 2022-01-07 17:32:20 UTC
I've contacted Carlos via email.



I'll start with copr once again to see what builds fine and what doesn't:

https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/churchyard/libffi-3.4/builds/

If there are no major blockers, I'll announce on the devel list, create the side tag and rebuild everything there.

Thank you so much for the help with the rebuilds!

There are a lot of dependent packages in Fedora that need rebuilds, and your help is much appreciated.
