Hi all,
even though Olaf has heroically fixed i4l-base to build again in Factory (https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/741743), I doubt it will work, because not only the now missing header files have been removed from the linux kernel, but also all the accompanying infrastructure...
This happened with
commit 9c3c0c2048149d946d7f3ebdcbe70e2946750bfb Author: Arnd Bergmann
Date: Thu Apr 18 22:43:36 2019 +0200 isdn: remove isdn4linux
which ended up in Linux-5.3.
So should we keep it building or just drop it? Does it serve any purpose without the accompanying kernel functionality?
The dependent packages are not so much:
~> osc -A suse whatdependson openSUSE:Factory i4l-base standard x86_64 i4l-base : capi4hylafax wine wine-nine-standalone wine:staging
abd I'd guess that WINE can be just configured to exclude ISDN functionality.
Any opinions?
Well it's accepted meanwhile, and builds for all targets. Fun.
I never doubted that it builds. But it is probably totally useless. The build fix was "pack the removed kernel headers into the package to make it build". But it is not only the kernel headers that are gone, the whole kernel infrastructure described by these headers is gone. So we now have a package that will build happily ever after, but not work. -- Stefan Seyfried "For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for nature cannot be fooled." -- Richard Feynman -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
