The package is very old and it utilizes autoconf very heavily. Most of the autoconf noise is use of obsolete macros and I have updated this were I can but there are some things I simply can't fix and some things that shouldn't be changed. I'll keep coming back to it over time since the changes I have made or (rather will be committing over the weekend) do allow the package to build and function on F33 and build in the Copr updated autoconf environment. I expect it will build ok on Monday. > > If there are any concerns or other opinions about the steps after > merging the change, please share your thoughts and we can discuss > them here. > > Thanks very much! > > Regards, > Ondrej > > [1] https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1942967 > > On Mon, Aug 16, 2021 at 7:52 AM Ondrej Dubaj <odubaj@xxxxxxxxxx> > wrote: > > Hello, according to the size of this change and the possible > > breakage of multiple packages before f35 mass rebuild, we decided > > (team working on this change) to postpone this change to early > > lifecycle of f36, where we will have enough time to resolve any > > problems until f36 mass rebuild. > > > > On Mon, Aug 2, 2021 at 5:18 PM Kevin Fenzi <kevin@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > > On Thu, Mar 25, 2021 at 05:28:07PM +0100, Ondrej Dubaj wrote: > > > > Currently, we are trying to stay away from the compat package > > > > and > > > with the > > > > help of other package maintainers trying to fix the failures. > > > > We > > > will give > > > > time to react accordingly and see other possible steps in a few > > > weeks time. > > > > > > > > Currently multiple FTBFS bugs in bugzilla were created > > > > according > > > to > > > > autoconf-2.71.
