[Fwd: Build Error (Job 396): wesnoth-1_2_8-1_el5 on fedora-5-epel]

[Jon Ciesla]

Hi all, got a problem I can't seem to find an answer to.

Trying to build wesnoth for EPEL-5.  Had the branch created, copied the
bits from FC-6, and built.  The failure is below.  The crucial part is in
the job.log:

ERROR: Bad build req: No Package Found for fribidi-devel. Exiting.

Except that fribidi-devel exists in RHEL5.  The Fedora fribidi maintainer
is at a loss:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=441847

. . .as am I.

I've been banging my head against this for while.  Any thoughts?

-Jon

fribidi is in RHEL5 Client but not RHEL5 Server, though I thought EPEL
built against a combined set of packages from the two...

Is anybody with the proper access to the builders is working on fixing 
this soon? Complains like this have shown up multiple times in the past 
few days.

Is this ticket meant for fixing this?
https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-infrastructure/ticket/881

Not sure, but if I'd get that ticket in my inbox I wouldn't do anything 
as it seems a bit confusing to me ;-)

In case it helps: It long ago was agreed on to lot split EPEL in client 
and server add-on repos for RHEL5, as that would complicate things for 
packagers and users a lot; there was the idea to have a yum-plugin that 
automatically hides those epel packages that require things that are 
only part of the other RHEL5 variant -- but that was never written.

On the buildsys we afaik always had the packages from both client and 
server. When did that break? From the number of reports (that increased 
over the past few days afaics) it seems not that long ago...

Yes its being worked on and no, people endlessly commenting on epel-devel
instead of the ticket or the infrastructure list doesn't make it get done
more quickly.

Again, from the begining, should have built it against CentOS.

Sorry,
> Again, from the begining, should have built it against CentOS.

I totally disagree and I'm glad that we build against RHEL, as the 
target was RHEL, to which CentOS should be 100% compatible. Which it is, 
but sometimes with a delay of 24 to 48 hours (normal updates) or a few 
weeks (packages that are part of a quarterly update; new release). That 
is a quite significant factor for EPEL, because if we'd build with 
CentOS we couldn't serve the RHEL users properly, as they now and then 
will end up with broken deps.

but the ticket really looked confusing -- at least to eyes it wasn't 
obvious what the ticket asked for, hence I thought it was worth asking here.
