Hi,
I cannot work on cooker for 24 hours now, I pinged in irc when
detected the problem but nobody commented :-(
The issue is that ncurses was updated, and it changed major of
libncursesw. It did properly follow Mandriva libname specs changing
the major of the package, e.g. changed libncursesw5 to libncursesw6,
*but* when publishing, "abf" just removed all packages generated
by the previous ncurses, that included libncursesw5.
Now the cooker build system is broken because it cannot install
bash, that requires libncursesw5.
Some months ago this issue had raised, about Mandriva library
specs, and where I told I had been using fedora semantics for
several of my packages, since I knew the abf issue, and was
not against it, but we need to change policy or change how abf
works when there is a soname bump.
Anyway, to fix the cooker issue, I hereby request some kind of
abf access, maybe a way to upload files, e.g. rebuild bash
locally with the newer libncursesw (but I would do it only for
i586 and x86_64) and upload it, at least this way I would not
be blocked from working for at least 24 hours.
This is the way the abf followed since the very beginning and nothing
was changed since then. You just had to build new curses to a separate
container without publishing it, then rebuild bash and other crucial
programs using that container and then publish all of them at once.
Since you have already published the new ncurses - well, you have a
chance to publish older version if some of older build lists are still
available. Surely, you can ask somebody with root access to publish some
packages manually, but this is a question for cooker admins.
And well, feel free to propose your patches to abf - build/publishing
scripts are available at abf/mdv-scripts projects. Yes, we have
discussed this question earlier, but there were no patches suggested,
only discussion. As for ROSA, we prefer to follow stricter policies and
rebuild all packages depending on some library when this library changes
soname. Usage of containers allows us to do this without breaking the
chroot.
