I was just trying to raise attention to the issue that the package hasn't been built successfully for 2 years and it's causing problems with my (and other) packages. > libgda is co-maintained with the desktop team but it seems that the > project is not anymore > maintained in GNOME upstream hence its sore state.

That said, I tried to put all the stuff together and cleaned up and fixed the package, updated it to 5.2.4, and this is as far as I've come: https://src.fedoraproject.org/fork/decathorpe/rpms/libgda/c/ee7d3434169944438d10939a1e2075b2b10ab3ed https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=27562988 Remaining issues: - building gtk-doc documentation fails miserably - building with system sqlite3 fails miserably (I don't know if that's a deal-breaker or not) Fabio > Regards, > H. > _______________________________________________ > devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > To unsubscribe send an email to 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/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/message/BV6IP6FF6VRJDJM4PILHC3LCK74WRYSF/ _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to 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/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/message/JYMGKKU6MP2XL32ZFTE4DKO2B73LLEAB/
