Thanks for your note, I will look at the dependent packages (they were selected ~1 month ago). But technically, it does not disturb us if some package does not require on autoconf and builds successfully. We have to focus on failed builds and investigate where the problem is.

Hello,

please see attached rebuild of autoconf-dependencies [1]. I would like to ask maintainers of the dependent packages to check if their packages are buildable with autoconf-2.71. It seems that lots of packages are checking for exactly version 2.69, which blocks the build and there might be no problem with version 2.71. Also there are some minor issues (unresolved dependencies, failure in %check phase,...), which can be resolved by a small fix. Please investigate the appropriate copr builds. If your fix is ready, just push it to the rawhide branch and it will be automatically rebuilt with the new autoconf-2.71 in copr. Most of the packages are successfully built with autoconf (~1450 from ~1600), so there are ~150 packages to investigate.

Attaching also results from a tester launched by Jeff Law [2] (accessible only on Red Hat VPN) which shows changes of packages with autoconf-2.69 and autoconf-2.71. This may help to understand the changes better.

Thank you for your cooperation!

Ondrej.



How did you find the dependent packages? I would suggest updating the dependent packages list again, since audacity can be removed from the list of packages needing a rebuild since you are using 2.4.2. That release switched to CMake from autotools because upstream unceremoniously removed the entire autotools build system in the patch release.
