Flex 2.6.0 generates C90-incompatible code

[Fredy Neeser]

Hi Rex

For debugging reasons, I'm trying to build Plasma on Fedora 24 from
sources, but building KF5 packages such as kf5-kservice and kf5-solid fails
because of

Flex 2.6.0 generates C90-incompatible code


I noted that there are some workarounds like
http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/rpms/kf5-kservice.git/commit/?h=master...

but since flex-2.6.1 already includes the fix, I'd much prefer to use the
flex update rather than patching the KDE sources :-)

Any chance we can get flex-2.6.1 for Fedora 24?

Thanks

flex isn't my package, I'd suggest asking in the bug you referenced
