multiple sources versions in lookaside cache

2010-01-23 Thread Gianluca Sforna
I wanted to download sources for a package and it seems the cache
hosts several older releases (see below). Is it the normal/intended
behavior?

Great thanks. So I've updated the Spins page with the info gathered

I think someone (maybe from FESCo?) may want to double check I did not

Sorry for asking the obvious, but this hit me several times... is this
mixasm.c file part of the sources you are compiling with -g -O0? if
it's in a library your code is using, you also need to recompile that
one with -O0.

Twitter support broken in Pino

2010-09-03 Thread Gianluca Sforna
If you are using Twitter with pino you probably noticed it stopped
working on September, 1, duly reported in
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=629192

This was due to twitter forcing oauth authentication on all API
consumers, as explained by the gwibber author on ars technica:
http://arstechnica.com/security/guides/2010/09/twitter-a-case-study-on-how-to-do-oauth-wrong.ars

Now, one interesting sentence from the article is:
"""
Most FOSS client developers have simply chosen to embed their keys in
their source code with the hope that Twitter won't notice. I was about
to give up on Gwibber, but Canonical intervened on my behalf (special
thanks to Ken VanDine) and negotiated a compromise with Twitter that
will allow Gwibber to continue using the service.
"""

So I'm wondering if we can lobby the same exception for pino, which is
the default client we ship in the desktop spin

Thoughts?

Certainly that's a better option than shipping F14 with a non
functional twitter client.

In 0.8.0 upstream split the slave functions into a separate
buildbot-slave package

In short, we need a new package (and review), but I've got no time for
starting the procedure.

Besides, it's an interesting upgrade path: what should we do on
upgrades? leave out the -slave package, make it a dependency of the
master so existing installations are not affected or something else?

As usual, help is very much appreciated

Good. I guess I can produce both buildbot and buildbot-master from the
current "buildbot" package, so just one review for buildbot-slave is
actually needed?

One reason could be that printers works well enough already...
however, since it seems we can gather useful info even from people
running F11 and F12[1], I wonder if we could spread the word further
by posting a "your help is needed" message to the users list and one

Oh right, forums are the same or maybe even better than the user list.
Anyway, if finding IDs/testing automatic driver installation is an
ongoing effort I think it's worth trying.

What really strikes me here is that we're not even talking about

Detecting Postgres version during build

2012-03-05 Thread Gianluca Sforna
I am trying to build a package that provides a Postegres cartridge
compatible with 8.x and 9.x. Unfortunately the cartridge related files
are not installed in the same path for both version so I am looking
for a way to query the version against I'm building and pick the
correct path.

Is there any standard mean for doing what I need?

Re: Detecting Postgres version during build

2012-03-07 Thread Gianluca Sforna
Hi Richard, I'll add some more context.

The package I'm preparing is for rdkit (http://rdkit.org), a
cheminformatic software with several components (a library, python
bindings, and Postgres chemical cartridge).

The current files I'm working on are here:
http://giallu.fedorapeople.org/rdkit.spec
http://giallu.fedorapeople.org/rdkit-2011.12-1.fc16.src.rpm

I'm requiring postgresql-devel and I just checked mock logs and it
seems it pulls in postgresql, so I guess I can use this method.

I am not sure this is going to work (at least in the present case):
the package includes some SQL code along with a shared object that
pgsql server runs to provide the chemical functions. AFAICT setting
this up is completely server side (see
http://code.google.com/p/rdkit/wiki/BuildingTheCartridge for details)
and unless we have both 8.x and 9.x in any EL or Fedora branch you
just want to pick and install the one that is provided by the package.

Yeah. useful:

It seems it uses an approach similar to what Rich suggested to check
version. It also seems to build for/against a single postgresql
version, adding an explicit require for the same version (not sure how
you can end up with a mismatch tough, maybe on upgrades?)

Actually, one of the first questions I get from users switching from

As of today, I haven't a good answer, if anyone knows better I'd

One question. Is committing the fix in CVS enough or do I need to also
push an update? In my case the package missed a BR that was only used
to do tests in the %check section, I removed it now in CVS but the
resulting binary package is basically the same as before.

The classic 0.02:
Now, I don't really get the "not designed to be integrated in a
distro" part, but since he obviously wants to offer RPMs for his
project, maybe he could be interested in becoming the (co)maintainer
in Fedora? Being in the distro's official repo has several advantages
(exposure, easy installation, etc) that any upstream should be very
keen about.

If you are saying that 6 months are a too short time for something
like this I think I can understand it.

However, from the relevant feature page contingency plan:

"""
First, at some point before the development freeze, we need to merge
the newui branch into master in git. At this point, regular anaconda
builds will include the new UI and that's what everyone will see.
Should we not get to a point where we're comfortable with merging
before the development freeze, the contingency plan would simply be to
not merge and wait for the next Fedora release.

Second, after merging we are kind of committed to taking this UI in
for Fedora 18. It will be too large of a body of work to revert. Plus,
much of our effort will have been spent on the newui branch which
means regular bug fixing will have suffered. I do not have a good idea
of what the contingency plan for this point will be.
""""

So, apparently, we approved this feature knowing that after the merge
we effectively had no plan in case of large issues.

I don't know if it's impossible to revert to the F17 anaconda at this
time, however it is clear that F18 is going to be the longest release
cycle we had in 9 years and somehow we need to avoid this in the
future.

Cheers

I'm not happy with the outcome either, but as a developer I can really
see how bringing forward the old ui (which would need changes even if
you do not add features there) and the new one at the same time would
be impractical and/or plain impossible to do.

However, I think anaconda developers knew that 6 months were too short
since the beginning. If this was abundantly clear to FESCo and other
interested parties, I think we could even accept a one time 9/12
months release cycle instead, without raising all this fuss for each
week of delay.

Or add the required patch to the package to provide the missing method?
It will be removed at the next upstream release anyway.

Texlive missing dependency

2016-10-01 Thread Gianluca Sforna
While building one of my packages I got this error:

DEBUG util.py:421:  Error: nothing provides tex-texlve-common needed
by texlive-collection-basic-5:svn41149-3.20160520.fc26.1.noarch.
DEBUG util.py:421:  nothing provides tex-texlve-common needed by
texlive-collection-basic-5:svn41149-3.20160520.fc26.1.noarch

Is that a typo in the spec file or am I missing something?

Thanks for the info. I tried but mine is still failing, I added a

However, pretty much every operating system out there has a special
key or combo to activate a boot menu, which is otherwise not
accessible. I don't think Linux users are less capable to find out
what they need to press at boot, when things need to be tuned.

build tests failure on non x86_64 archs

2017-05-11 Thread Gianluca Sforna
While trying to update one of my packages (rdkit), I am hitting an
issue with its tests suite, so apparently every non-x86_64 build is
failing.

rawhide example:  https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=19487191
EPEL example: https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=19486424

So, since this is a pretty large codebase (that I am not familiar
with) I am going to ask upstream if they can reproduce the issue, but
before doing so I'm wondering if anyone here can think of any reason
why our builders can determine such a  behavior.

I know this kind of a long shot, but any idea to start debugging the
issue will be appreciated.

Cheers

G.

Botched EFI menu on Macbook 11.1 after upgrade

2019-12-30 Thread Gianluca Sforna
I'd need to report this issue but I don't know which component to file it on.

Basically, I upgraded my MacBook Pro 11.1 from Fedora 29 to Fedora 31,
but the EFI boot manager now has both entries (Fedora and Macintosh)
pointing to OSX.

If you also have ideas about how to proceed and fix it it would be
most useful :D

Cheers

Successful build with mockbuild gives error in koji

2018-10-03 Thread Gianluca Sforna
Hi,
I have this build failing:
https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org//work/tasks/6308/30036308/build.log

during documentation creation. However, the same build is successful
when I run it locally with fedpkg. For me, this is actually the first
time a local, successful mock build is failing in koji (for the same
arch) so I don't really know how to think about it.

Ideas?

Rdkit issue with boost 1.64

2017-07-24 Thread Gianluca Sforna
Apparently, the rdkit package does not play along with boost 1.64
serialization library as you can see from:
https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=20681707

This appears to be a known boost issue:
https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/12516

with an upstream patch (that i assume will go into 1.65)
https://github.com/boostorg/serialization/commit/1d86261581230e2dc5d617a9b16287d326f3e229

Can we rebuild boost with this patch applied?

Regards

G.

Golang in PPC64

2017-07-31 Thread Gianluca Sforna
So I am getting the following becasue arduino-builder is a golang
project and apparently Go is not in ppc64 repos. Do anyone know if
golang will eventually be available on this arch?

If not, is it correct to put BOTH BuildArch: noarch and ExclusiveArch:
%{go_arches} in the arduino spec file so it will not be built for
arches where golang is not available?

arduino has broken dependencies in the rawhide tree:

I actually struggled a bit on the upgrades because of the
changes/additional deps they added at almost every update. For
instance, the liblistserial addition dates back to the 1.6.8 update
(which I was, slowly, working on); I guess jumping directly on he
1.8.x train would have been a better choice.

Thanks for having a look at that, I will integrate your changes in the
repo package as soon as I can.

G.
