Potential impact of gettext 0.25 on Fedora mass-rebuild

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello,

While investigating a build issue for Gnulib, I discovered a discussion [1] on gettext upstream indicating that version 0.25 may have undesirable side-effects on other packages: specifically calls to autoconf/autoreconf may behave differently leading to build failures.

The problems are:
- at the moment I have no clue to which extend this may impact the mass-rebuild
- there seems to still be discussion about the solution

I'll probably apply the autoconf patches downstream, but that may already be to late for the mass rebuild that should start tomorrow (and may not be enough anyway). Since I'm not willing to push a patch a cross fingers, I'll probably start a mass-prebuild on COPR tonight against autoconf/gettext dependencies.
