Help with cfitsio update in epel6, proven packager needed

[Sergio Pascual]

Hello. I would like to update cfitsio in epel6. The current version here
has longstanding bugs.

My first question is the correct repoquery command. I'm doing, in a centos
6 machine,

repoquery --whatrequires cfitsio --disablerepo=* --enablerepo=epel -s|sort
| uniq

that returns

cfitsio-3.240-3.el6.src.rpm
cpl-5.2.0-2.el6.src.rpm
gdal-1.7.3-15.el6.src.rpm
healpix-2.13a-2.el6.src.rpm
munipack-1.2.10-1.el6.src.rpm
nightview-0.3.3-1.el6.src.rpm
perl-Astro-FITS-CFITSIO-1.05-6.el6.src.rpm
root-5.34.38-3.el6.src.rpm
siril-0.8-9.el6.src.rpm
skyviewer-1.0.0-3.el6.src.rpm
wcslib-4.3.1-3.el6.src.rpm

Second, I understand that I have to create a buildroot override and the
owners rebuild their packages. Later, to create a common update in bodhi. I
can't create the update because I'm do not have the required permissions.
Could a proven packager coordinate this?

Thank you

So, I did a check, and all of those will rebuild except wcslib.  So
wcslib will need a bit of work.  It builds on i686 but not x86_64.

When you say you want to fix the bugs.  are you meaning apply some
patches, or update to a newer version?
If it's just applying patches, and leaving the library the same
version, you wouldn't need to rebuild anything.

Those bugs have been there for 9 years, and EPEL6 is going to be
retired in 7 months.  Is it going to be worth the effort?

I don't have time until mid week (wednesday I believe).
If you decide it's worth the effort, and nobody else has volunteered,
I could give it a try.

It is true that probably it's not worth the effort. Thank you anyway
