I didn't do any nodejs or golang bugs because all of their failing dependencies are in EPEL, not RHEL. Or perhaps I should say they *aren't* in EPEL :) A few numbers bugs created for uninstallable EPEL7 packages - 24 nodejs uninstallable packages - 11 golang uninstallable packages - 18 Total EPEL7 binary packages[2] - 12,547 ^^ Above installable on RHEL 7.6 - 12,043 ^^ Above not installable on RHEL 7.6 - 504 Why such a big difference between 504 uninstallable binary packages, but only 53 potential bugs? 1 - bugs are against source packages. The bottom checks are against binary packages. My guess is that the 50 bugs cover about 150 binary packages because each source can have more than one package. And when I was looking at the packages, it looked like about an average of three binaries per source. 2 - repoquery (used to generate the bug list) went to the heart of the problems. So if package A is uninstallable, and package B depends on A. We don't file a bug for package B, only A. For some of those nodejs packages, I've seen one package A with a bad dependency, cause 25 to 50 package B's, who aren't installable due to A not being installable. 3 - It's possible that we might have missed a few packages. Troy [2] - "binary packages" are the packages that you get build an rpm. It doesn't mean the package contain *only* binaries, because it might be an rpm full of scripts, or just documentation. _______________________________________________ epel-devel mailing list -- epel-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to epel-devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/epel-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
