Description Simone Caronni 2013-06-03 09:56:34 UTC
Description of problem:
Package seems abandoned; there is no activtiy on it since Sun Nov 25 2007. From that date onwards, only mass rebuild changelogs have been added.

It does not build on Fedora 19 and does contain obsolete RPM tags that are not required for Fedora.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
libtomcrypt-1.17-14.fc18

This request is to start the missing package mantainer process [1]; as I'm offering myself as a mantainer since I'm using this at work. If the packager responds to the bug I'm offering myself as co-mantainer.

At the moment, the last update pushed by the package mantainer is in April 2012.

I'm attaching all the pending bugs here.

Comment 1 Simone Caronni 2013-06-03 10:03:50 UTC
http://slaanesh.fedorapeople.org/libtomcrypt.spec
http://slaanesh.fedorapeople.org/libtomcrypt-1.17-15.fc19.src.rpm

Here is an updated spec file / source rpm that contains the following fixes:

- Update SPEC, remove obsolete tags, fix formatting.
- Add patch for pkg config (libtomcrypt.pc).
- Add correct build requirements for Fedora 19+ and RHEL 7+.

This package update is required for building stoken, the RSA software token manipulation library for using RSA software tokens with openconnect, the Cisco AnyConnect VPN compatible client.

Comment 2 Simone Caronni 2013-06-03 10:10:39 UTC
Please note that the package has changed license in the upstream repository to "WTFPL"; which is a valid license according to Fedora guidelines.

This is only for the next release; the current source tarball still is licensed with the specified license.

Comment 3 David Woodhouse 2013-06-04 13:14:36 UTC
The changes look obviously sane; have committed them for rawhide in the meantime.

Perhaps we could do F19 too. Or perhaps you could just live with the lack of pkgconfig and set TOMCRYPT_CFLAGS=-I/usr/include/tomcrypt manually when you need to build against it.

Comment 4 David Woodhouse 2013-06-04 13:25:18 UTC
Hm, maybe it's not that simple.

rm -f doc/crypt.pdf *.dvi *.log *.aux *.toc *.idx *.ilg *.ind *.out

There are also a lot of warnings about pointer aliasing bugs.

I would prefer that both would go the same way; so packages relying on it does not need to treat f19 and f20+ differently.

Can you commit those to Fedora 19 too?


I've updated the spec file with latex requirements; but I didn't re-uploaded them to fedorapeople.org as I was not thinking a proven packager would push the change; but instead wait for the unresponsive mantainer process.

Anyway here they are; they should fix your latex building problem on f18+:

Hi, i'm the maintainer, I would be happy to hand off this package. I am no longer using it actively.

Many thanks. Can you orphan it so I can take it?

Done and done. Yours for the taking!

I apologize for my dereliction of maintanence, and appreciate you taking ownership. 

thanks,

Really weird, on rawhide it fails for me as well with koji, but it works locally with mock and I'm able to build without changes.

Looking into it.

Comment 14 David Woodhouse 2013-06-04 14:43:30 UTC
jnovy?

Comment 15 David Woodhouse 2013-06-04 14:50:52 UTC
This fails locally with mock (rawhide) for me, and in that chroot 'mktexfmt latex.fmt' silently does nothing. In mock for f19, it builds fine.

What?

It works fine for me with a freshly rawhide built chroot mock here. What doesn't work for me is koji+rawhide. I've sent an email to the devel mailing list.

To sum up:

mock+f19 = ok
koji+f19 = ok
mock+rawhide = ok
koji+rawhide = *KO*

Comment 18 Jindrich Novy 2013-06-04 14:56:39 UTC
Hello David, Simone, please give me a while to reproduce it.

The versions of texlive in f19 and rawhide are now different.

Comment 19 Jindrich Novy 2013-06-04 14:58:38 UTC
I'm still failing to see why koji doesn't work but local mock does.

Comment 20 David Woodhouse 2013-06-04 15:02:46 UTC
Simone, I've built libtomcrypt-1.17-16.fc19 if you want to push that as an update: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=5465174

Comment 21 Jindrich Novy 2013-06-04 15:04:46 UTC
Ok, first of all, could you please replace:

BuildRequires:  tetex-dvips
BuildRequires:  tetex-latex

with:
BuildRequires: tex(dvips), tex(latex)

then:
%if 0%{?fedora} >= 18 || 0%{?rhel} >= 7
BuildRequires:  texlive-cm
BuildRequires:  texlive-fancyhdr
BuildRequires:  texlive-latex-bin-bin
BuildRequires:  texlive-makeindex-bin
BuildRequires:  texlive-metafont-bin
BuildRequires:  texlive-texconfig
%endif

is completely useless as all of the packages are pulled in by BR: tex(latex), as the collection-basic and collection-latex from CTAN. So you can remove it.

Comment 22 David Woodhouse 2013-06-04 15:14:49 UTC
In my f19 root, /usr/share/texlive/texmf/web2c/fmtutil.cnf contains:
# from latex-bin:
latex pdftex language.dat -translate-file=cp227.tcx *latex.ini
pdflatex pdftex language.dat -translate-file=cp227.tcx *pdflatex.ini
dvilualatex luatex language.dat,language.dat.lua dvilualatex.ini
lualatex luatex language.dat,language.dat.lua lualatex.ini

In my rawhide chroot, /usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/web2c/fmtutil.cnf contains:

# from latex-bin:
#! latex pdftex language.dat -translate-file=cp227.tcx *latex.ini
#! pdflatex pdftex language.dat -translate-file=cp227.tcx *pdflatex.ini
#! dvilualatex luatex language.dat,language.dat.lua dvilualatex.ini
#! lualatex luatex language.dat,language.dat.lua lualatex.ini

That appears to fix it; thanks for the quick help. 1.17-17 building in rawhide now: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=5465895

Thanks. Is there a place where tex packaging is described? I have other packages using latex that probably need updating.

Some help can be found here:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/TeXLive
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Talk:Features/TeXLive

Currently there exist these basic virtual provides:
tex(tex)
tex(latex)
tex(latex-base)
tex(japanese)
tex(east-asian)
tex(xetex)
tex(context)
tex(dvips)

Hope that helps.
