Fedora EPEL Update Notification
FEDORA-EPEL-2020-414d685636
2020-12-24 01:23:24.343891
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : mpir
Product : Fedora EPEL 8
Version : 3.0.0
Release : 14.el8
URL :
https://mpir.org/
Summary : Highly optimised library for bignum arithmetic
Description :
MPIR is a highly optimised library for bignum arithmetic forked from the GMP
bignum library. It is written in assembly language and C. It is community
maintained via the GitHub repositories of William Hart (Linux/OSX) and Brian
Gladman (Windows). There are currently no curators for other platforms.
MPIR is assembly optimised for various x86-64 CPUs. It is designed to be
threadsafe.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:
Split the C++ library into a subpackage; keep a combined -devel package, as the
GMP package in Fedora does, to avoid breaking BR���s; and fix some character
encoding conversions. ---- Stop excluding ppc64le architecture (build a
generic version, without optimized assembly); enable fat binaries where
supported (x86); fix missing debuginfo for assembly routines; ensure hardened
build is always enabled; add -doc subpackage, and build HTML and PDF
documentation from texinfo; add virtual Provides for -c++ and -c++-devel
subpackages; correct license field; and other small improvements.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ChangeLog:
* Tue Dec 8 2020 Benjamin A. Beasley <code(a)musicinmybrain.net> - 3.0.0-14
- Do not BR yasm on platforms where it is not used in the build
(
https://github.com/wbhart/mpir/issues/270)
* Tue Dec 8 2020 Benjamin A. Beasley <code(a)musicinmybrain.net> - 3.0.0-13
- Convert character encodings with a patch instead of a script; it turns out it
takes manual inspection to get this right
* Mon Dec 7 2020 Benjamin A. Beasley <code(a)musicinmybrain.net> - 3.0.0-12
- Split the C++ library into a subpackage; keep a combined -devel package, as
the GMP package in Fedora does, to avoid breaking BR���s
* Sun Dec 6 2020 Benjamin A. Beasley <code(a)musicinmybrain.net> - 3.0.0-11
- Stop excluding ppc64le architecture: build a generic version, without
optimized assembly
- Enable fat binaries where supported (x86)
- Fix missing debuginfo for assembly routines
- Ensure hardened build is always enabled, including on EPEL
- Strict so-versions in files pattern for shared library (helps detect
so-version changes)
- Create -doc subpackage; add HTML and PDF documentation built from texinfo
- Add virtual Provides for -c++ and -c++-devel subpackages, by analogy to GMP;
note, however, that we cannot actually split out the subpackage without
breaking most C++ packages that have this as a BuildRequires
- Add BR on make for
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Remove_make_from_BuildRoot
- Use modern macros like autosetup, make_build, make_install
- Get an updated config.guess, etc. from gnulib-devel instead of patching it
- Convert HTTP URLs to HTTPS
- Updated summary and description from upstream
- Correct license field (not just LGPLv3+) and add PACKAGE-LICENSING file
- More conversion of ISO-8859-1-encoded files
- Reformat whitespace
* Tue Jul 28 2020 Fedora Release Engineering <releng(a)fedoraproject.org> - 3.0.0-10
- Rebuilt for
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_33_Mass_Rebuild
* Tue Jun 30 2020 Jeff Law <law(a)redhat.com> - 3.0.0-9
- Fix broken configure test compromised by LTO
* Wed Jan 29 2020 Fedora Release Engineering <releng(a)fedoraproject.org> - 3.0.0-8
- Rebuilt for
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_32_Mass_Rebuild
