Dear Package maintainers and hackers.

Below package(s) in openSUSE:Factory have been failing to build for at least 4 weeks. We tried to send out notifications to the configured bugowner/maintainers of the package(s), but so far no fix has been submitted. This probably means that the maintainer/bugowner did not yet find the time to look into the matter and he/she would certainly appreciate help to get this sorted.

- fakechroot - fakeroot

fakeroot packaging uses some configure hack for out-of-tree build creating a configure script in the build dir which calls configure script in the source dir which then creates broken makefile. If you look at the rpm macros file then after %define _configure ../configure you can do mkdir obj cd obj %configure in your build script. I bet this is undocumented detail of the internal implementation of the %configure macro. Can't the rpm macros support out-of-tree builds? Many projects insist on those. That said if you replace the script hack with redefining _configure the makefile is generated correctly, it builds and the tests fail when running on Tumbleweed. There is a thing called fakeroot_ng and fakeroot upstream is not very active so maybe it's time to look into switching if you use fakeroot for anything.
