New mingw-nsis package apparent breakage
Hello Sandro,
mingw-nsis failed to build in the F32 mass rebuild, so I have updated
the package to the latest version and fixed quite a few problems.
It now builds, but there are some seemingly serious problems with the
resulting package which make me reluctant to want to push anything to
Rawhide dist-git. Instead I pushed my changes to a private branch so
you can play with them:
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/mingw-nsis/commits/private-rjones-nsis305
(1) No debuginfo is built.
If debuginfo is enabled, the build fails with:
error: Empty %files file
/home/rjones/d/fedora/mingw-nsis/master/nsis-3.05-src/debugsourcefiles.list
I haven't changed anything about debuginfo, so I'm not clear how
my changes caused this to happen.
(2) More seriously, some files are missing compared to the 3.04 package.
There is no /etc/nsisconf.nsh file, no /usr/bin/GenPat, and no
/usr/bin/makensis (without the .exe extension).
Rich.
