So nothing to be done until a texlive update.

--- Comment #15 from Colin Macdonald cbm@m.fsf.org --- I'm experimenting with splitting off biblatex. Feedback requested at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1561929

--- Comment #17 from Colin Macdonald cbm@m.fsf.org --- Here's a bump with tests disabled. Can you test if its functional? I don't have a rawhide system

--- Comment #19 from Colin Macdonald cbm@m.fsf.org --- Test on F28 would be fine? You can get the rpm file from the link I pasted above

--- Comment #21 from Colin Macdonald cbm@m.fsf.org --- Thanks!

I found a way to test on https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Machine_Resources_For_Package_Maintainer...

Unfortunately, build-in tests are disabled :(

I have pushed to rawhide, will do F28 later.

I forgot to check your copr for changes; will try to do that later too.

--- Comment #23 from Miro Hrončok mhroncok@redhat.com --- I have texlive from rawhide and I am rebuilding it for older Fedoras because I want the new stuff. However, biber is blocking me. So I tried to rebuild your provided srpm for older Fedoras as well. I ended up with:

nothing provides texlive-biblatex >= 7:2017 needed by biber-2.7-1.fc28.noarch

However, the same problem I get in rawhide with original Fedora's texlive and your build:

$ mock -r fedora-rawhide-x86_64 --init ... $ mock -r fedora-rawhide-x86_64 --install ./biber-2.7-1.fc29.noarch.rpm ... Error: Problem: conflicting requests - nothing provides texlive-biblatex >= 7:2017 needed by biber-2.7-1.fc29.noarch $ mock -r fedora-rawhide-x86_64 --install texlive-biblatex ... installs texlive-biblatex-7:svn42680-1.fc29

--- Comment #25 from Miro Hrončok mhroncok@redhat.com --- Oh. yes, I was using your scratch build. Let me try with rawhide.

--- Comment #27 from Ankur Sinha (FranciscoD) sanjay.ankur@gmail.com --- I did a simple bumpspec to 2.11. It seems to build just fine, and fixes the incompatibility with the current biblatex too (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1639640)

- rawhide scratch build: https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=30269351 - f29 scratch build: https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=30269353

Assuming that's all that is needed, I've opened a PR here: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/biber/pull-request/1

Cheers, Ankur
