(CC'ing -dev)
People will know that I use my own scripts for building packages
(sometimes with different or variable configure options), and that I
try to keep _some_ older systems usable (at the moment, 7.10 and 8.0
should still be up to date for the vulnerabilities in packages I care
about).
On Monday I was looking at the security updates at lwn.net and
noticed that old fedora (25, I think) had been updated to
qtwebengine-5.9.2 - that included a batch of chromium CVE fixes.
I'd used 5.9.2 in my two latest builds, but not been aware of the
security aspect, so I had to update.
So, I've been updating my existing systems (fun on those with qt-5.7
: qt needs to be updated, and old 5.7 headers moved out of the way or
qtwebengine won't build, for 5.8 and 5.9 qtwebengine should just drop
in).
Sorting out the 5.7 issues took some time, but eventually I'd got
about 8 systems updated to 5.9.2.
Towards the end of that process, Bruce mentioned that 5.9.3 was out,
and review showed another batch of fixes.
And then after those 8 successful updates, the builds suddenly
started to fail - no errors in the logs, it looked as if make had
completed, but somehow ended in error. After failing to find any
errors, I added '|| true' to my package script (it bails if anything
ends in error) - that fixed the next run, but since then every
update (I'm now doing 5.9.3) has also failed. So I'm now doing a
manual install if the scripted update fails (and the install only
takes a second or so, there is nothing outstanding to build).
I've also tried a manual build - but of course that ended with a
status of 0.
Vaguely, I can remember something like this earlier in the year,
when I was looking at using different options for qtwebengine. But
for now, all I can say is: "if you script qtwebengine and it ends in
error, try running make install by hand".
