Hi, while at it, I find it a little surprising (again), that a package like python3 cannot be built in a new project due to a missing autoconf package. https://build.opensuse.org/project/monitor/home:frispete:python3 https://build.opensuse.org/package/live_build_log/home:frispete:python3/pyth... Is that to be expected? IOW, do I really need to adjust projects with something like Preinstall: autoconf in prjconf?

autoconf hasn't been part of the default build environment since 12.2.

Okay, I see. Doesn't that mean, that about 90% of all packages using it are broken in this regard, then? BTW, I branched python3 from openSUSE:Factory. Why did the build not fail there? autoconf is not mentioned in factory's prjconf, hence it must be pulled by an side effect of some other preinstalled package.

autoconf is required by automake.

Nope, because "all™" packages have it explicitly BuildRequires, because, turned out (in the 12.2/12.3 release cycle) that not so many packages need autotools installed all the time. And for those who do, it was addressed as far as openSUSE releases went. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+owner@opensuse.org

Sorry, I was bitten by the fact of reusing an project with old versions lying around, and just osc linkpac -f'ing them with the current packages. This does keep the local changes, which is a good thing, but not in this case. I'm sorry for the churn, beg my pardon, Andreas and Jan.

Is that to be expected?

IOW, do I really need to adjust projects with something like

Preinstall: autoconf

in prjconf?

No, your package needs to buildrequire it - and your pacakge removes the buildrequire: http://s.kulow.org/python-rdiff Greetings, Stephan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+owner@opensuse.org
