[opensuse-packaging] automake 1.11 in the queue
Hi, Philipp submitted automake 1.11 to go into openSUSE:Factory and as it's the nature of automake updates - they break a lot of packages. So I added it to staging first and we noticed a lot of this kind of error: /usr/bin/install -c -m 644 pango.h pango-attributes.h pango-bidi-type.h pango- break.h pango-context.h pango-coverage.h pango-engine.h pango-font.h pango- fontmap.h pango-fontset.h pango-glyph.h pango-glyph-item.h pango-gravity.h pango-item.h pango-language.h pango-layout.h pango-matrix.h pango-modules.h pango-renderer.h pango-script.h pango-tabs.h pango-types.h pango-utils.h pango-features.h pango-enum-types.h pangox.h pango-ot.h pangofc-font.h pangofc-fontmap.h pangofc-decoder.h pangoft2.h pangoxft.h pangoxft-render.h pango-ot.h pangocairo.h '/var/tmp/pango-1.24.2- build/usr/include/pango-1.0/pango' /usr/bin/install: will not overwrite just-created `/var/tmp/pango-1.24.2- build/usr/include/pango-1.0/pango/pango-ot.h' with `pango-ot.h' There are around 100 packages with this problem, the majority yast packages installing autodocs - which is hopefully fixed by now. If I remove yast* from my grep result, I get the remaining list: openSUSE.org:filesystems parted openSUSE.org:GNOME:Factory libbonobo openSUSE.org:GNOME:Factory libgda3 openSUSE.org:GNOME:Factory libsigc++12 openSUSE.org:GNOME:Factory libtelepathy openSUSE.org:GNOME:Factory orbit openSUSE.org:GNOME:Factory pango openSUSE.org:home:darix:Factory lam openSUSE.org:home:ganglia:Factory google-perftools openSUSE.org:home:jjolly:Factory opensm openSUSE.org:home:jrjohansen:Factory limal-apparmor-control openSUSE.org:home:kwk:Factory gromacs openSUSE.org:home:mcalmer:Factory limal openSUSE.org:home:mcalmer:Factory limal-ca-mgm openSUSE.org:home:mcalmer:Factory limal-devtools openSUSE.org:home:mtomaschewski:Factory limal-runlevel openSUSE.org:home:nadvornik:Factory claws-mail openSUSE.org:home:pchakravarthi:Factory limal-nfs-server openSUSE.org:home:prusnak:factory libxslt openSUSE.org:home:prusnak:factory openwsman openSUSE.org:home:puzel:Factory goom2k4 openSUSE.org:home:tiwai:Factory libatomic-ops-devel openSUSE.org:KDE:Community kvirc openSUSE.org:multimedia:libs libvorbis openSUSE.org:X11:Fox fox16 openSUSE.org:YaST:Head libstorage I would like to have these packages fixed before automake 1.11 joins the choir. Before you wonder, it's not a bug but a feature in new automake: http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/automake.git/tree/NEWS?id=65f53cc178cd5876f...

On the way fixing your packages you should consider not to re-create
the autogenerated files in you .spec processing as this is generally
considered a bad thing to do. If you have patches to automake/autoconf
related files consider providing patches to the autogenerated parts
as well and use the same automake/autoconf version to generate them
as upstream did.

Well. It would certainly help to have the non-latest versions of automake in Factory to do this. Vincent -- Les gens heureux ne sont pas pressés. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help@opensuse.org

True. I have them installed in my home directory exactly for this
purpose ;)

If you think it's the smaller evil, I suggest we find a volunteer to maintain them. automake is already well prepared to have several versions installed in parallel. the "automake" package and binary should still always be the latest version.

Well, the packages I looked at were abusing automake, so I do not blame automake. And when I check a percentage of packages using it, the last cmake update broke more :) Greetings, Stephan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help@opensuse.org
