The introduction of perl 5.38.0 broke polymake beyond repair. Several symbols formerly used by polymake have been marked as internal APIs. They now have the ELF hidden attribute, so we can't even cheat by adding prototypes to the polymake code.
Polymake upstream is aware of the issue. For the time being, they are advising their downstreams to stay on perl 5.36.0, which is not feasible for Fedora. In the long term, they plan to remove the mandatory perl bindings from polymake. However, they as yet have no timeline for that effort. It might be years. I don't see that I have any choice but to retire polymake from Rawhide. This will have some repercussions: - gap-pkg-polymaking, python-jupymake, and python-jupyter-polymake will also be retired - sagemath and Macaulay2 will be rebuilt without polymake support - packages that I have maintained solely for use by polymake will be orphaned: azove, permlib, plantri, sympol, vinci I could try begging the perl package maintainers to add a downstream patch making the affected symbols visible again. However, since those symbols are now internal only, the perl maintainers are free to alter or remove them at any time, so that would not be a good long term solution. -- Jerry James, who is currently channeling Billy Joel http://www.jamezone.org/ _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
