The bug is not in pysvn. It is in python-pycxx. From the build log: /usr/src/CXX/IndirectPythonInterface.cxx: In function 'char* Py::__Py_PackageContext()': /usr/src/CXX/IndirectPythonInterface.cxx:471:50: error: invalid conversion from 'const char*' to 'char*' [-fpermissive] char *__Py_PackageContext() { return _Py_PackageContext; } ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ make: *** [Makefile:170: IndirectPythonInterface.o] Error 1 That declaration should be: const char *__Py_PackageContext() { return _Py_PackageContext; } Either patch python-pycxx to add the missing "const" or build pysvn with -fpermissive. Incidentally, the two sed expressions in %build are wrong. They don't match anything, and therefore don't change anything. Change them both to this: %{__sed} -i -e 's@-fexceptions -frtti@%{optflags} -frtti@' Makefile or, if you want to go the -fpermissive route, to this: %{__sed} -i -e 's@-fexceptions -frtti@%{optflags} -frtti -fpermissive@' Makefile Regards, -- Jerry James http://www.jamezone.org/ _______________________________________________ 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/ZALDNFOZO6DLRXOS6J7EA7WFHMGE3UAF/
