Description Kristoffer Grundström 2022-02-26 23:07:24 CET

Description of problem: I downloaded the src.rpm of firefox-beta from Cauldron to rebuild it to Mageia 8, but after it got to the stage of compiling gkrust it failed and that resulted in a complete build failure overall.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 98.0

How reproducible: I've only seen this one time.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Download the firefox-beta src rpm from Cauldron.
2. Extract all files in it (except the spec file which is sort of obvious) to ~/rpmbuild/SOURCES/
3. Open a terminal.
4. cd to where the spec file is and run sudo urpmi firefox-beta.spec --auto and wait until it's done.
5. Now run rpmbuild -ba firefox-beta.spec and wait for the errors seen in the attached build output.

You might also want to fix the warnings about the macros.

firefox-beta is never supported in stable releases. It's only present in
cauldron, and in cauldron is removed when it reaches version freeze.

However, it should still be able to be rebuilt in Mageia 8 if that's what the src rpm of every package is for.

Comment 4 Dave Hodgins 2022-02-27 00:56:01 CET

The place to discuss such issues is the dev ml, as this is about education,
not a bug in Mageia packages. Most likely it also needs the cauldron version
of rust due to changes in that package.
