major elpa update (API and ABI incompatible)

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,
I intend to update elpa to the latest version (2017.05.002) in rawhide.
This is a major change from currently packaged 2015.11.001. It comes
with a new API and is ABI-incompatible. Old APIs, especially some
private functions which were exposed but not meant for public use by
upstream have been removed. New API is described in USERS_GUIDE.md [1].

There are two consumers of elpa in Fedora: cp2k and openmx. I put
the maintainers (myself included) of these packages on Cc in this
announcement.

While cp2k already supports this new elpa, openmx does not. There
was some discussion about this in bug #1325933 [2] and upstream [3],
but upstream seems to be reluctant to change anything, so in worst
case scenario, openmx can switch to using the old bundled copy of
elpa.
