Rawhide (dist-f14) now has python 2.7 Many thanks to everyone who helped get us this far! Jesse and I moved 931 builds [1] from dist-f14-py27-rebuild to dist-f14 about 45 minutes ago. If I'm reading the Koji logs correct [2] [3], these packages are now available in the buildroot for F14, so further builds for "devel" will be against python 2.7 A further 26 builds in dist-f14-py27-rebuild had newer builds in rawhide, so we'll need to rebuild these; some are important e.g. yum and anaconda (see [1] again). Packages should now be built into rawhide, rather than to the dist-f14-py27-rebuild target. AdamW did some testing earlier using the py27 tag: "quick summary, preliminary findings: we can update a bare f13 live install pretty much okay, we can compose an f14 live pretty much okay (but can't test if it boots due to unrelated issues)" ; I've also been testing in runlevel3 on a rawhide box upgraded to the tag, and using it successfully as a development host for fixing other builds. However, this may be impacted by the newer builds mentioned above. We briefly got down to 99 failing rebuilds, but there was a flaw in my original mass-rebuild method: I had only rebuilt packages with a requirement on: python(abi) = 2.6 which didn't catch packages with a requirement on: libpython2.6.so.1.0 I ran a script to rebuild anything with the second criterion that I'd missed; these mostly succeeded, but there were some new failures. This brings the total number of failing rebuilds to 108: http://dmalcolm.fedorapeople.org/python-packaging/failures-2010-07-27-04.html with some new people listed there. ...plus the re-rebuilds mentioned above. I need food and sleep, so I plan to look at these rebuilds tomorrow. Common rebuild issues (in no particular order): - gcc44 -> 45 changes - gtk issues (being discussed on desktop@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, though I believe most of the gtk folks are at GUADEC) - swig 1 -> swig 2 changes - configure.ac files that list python 2.2 2.3 2.4 2.5 2.6 but not 2.7 - any actual python 2.6 -> 2.7 issues (seemingly few of these so far) - boost, perhaps? (looks like we need to rebuild again for the SONAME bump) See also: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/Python_2.7 Hope this all makes sense Dave [1] http://dmalcolm.fedorapeople.org/python-packaging/mass-tag-from-dist-f14-py27-rebuild-into-dist-f14.txt [2] http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=2355260 [3] http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/getfile?taskID=2355261&name=createrepo.log -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
