 Any? That would mean it would have been easy to test whether the update
 works at all, but either it has been marked stable without any testing

This appears to have been what happened:

https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/libgdl-2.31.3-1.fc14

there's no +1 or -1 vote. It's not a critpath update, so it can be
pushed stable with no feedback after seven days - see the note This
update has reached 7 days in testing and can be pushed to stable now if
the maintainer wishes - and it was indeed pushed after that time.

It's possible the maintainer tested it, but you can't tell that from the
Bodhi page.

 Anyway, gdl 2.31.x is broken and gnome-2-32 will ship gdl 2.30.x.
 
 Actually the gdl 2.31.x was superseeded with gdl 2.90.x which will ship
 with GNOME 3.0 and uses gtk+-3.0 but won't work with anjuta yet as we
 don't use gtk+-3.0.
 
 So please use gdl 2.30.x for now.
 
 
 I filed a Fedora bug report over two weeks ago, but have had no response

 Fedora bug I filed against libgdl.
 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=635333

There's a package related RFE in bugzilla which is unanswered since June.
The package is assigned to only one person:
https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/acls/name/libgdl

If a downgrade (with an Epoch bump) is the only way forward, it would
still be good to have the current packager comment on that. Or somebody
who is familiar enough with libgdl and would also show interest in 
joining Fedora's group of packagers in order to help with libgdl and
related packages.

Yes, any application that uses libgdl segfaults with the same error on
my F14 system. This is not limited to software from the F14 repo, but
also self compiled applications that worked fine previously on F13. The
above version also has the same problem.

A downgrade for F14 to 2.30.x, however rawhide(F15) probably needs to
move to 2.90.x. Which is the GTK3 branch of libgdl.

Anjuta is broken on F14. I don't know if any other apps in the F14 repo
use libgdl. I'm not familiar with the internal workings of libgdl,
however I use libgdl for a couple of my own applications. I think I can
tell whether or not the problem is my own application.

The upstream bug report I referenced before includes a response from the
Anjuta/libgdl developer, Anyway, gdl 2.31.x is broken and gnome-2-32
will ship gdl 2.30.x.. I'm inclined to trust the upstream developer if
he says his app is broken.

$ repoquery --whatrequires 'libgdl-1.so.3'
anjuta-1:2.31.90.0-1.fc14.i686
gnome-python2-gdl-0:2.25.3-23.fc14.i686

valide-0:0.6.1-0.22.20103003svn511.fc14.i686

And repoquery --whatrequires libgdl --alldeps doesn't add more than
libgdl itself.

Well, not responding to bugzilla tickets, sometimes it's a packager's way
to signal I don't have time for this and would appreciate if somebody
else took over.  Dunno whether that is the case for libgdl in Fedora
though, but given your interest in libgdl, it would make sense to get
involved in the Fedora package maintenance somehow.

F14 libgdl 2.31.x broken

2010-10-01 Thread Jim Hayward
Any application that uses libgdl on F14 segfaults on startup. I had to
downgrade libgdl to 2.30.x in order to get applications using libgdl to
work.

Quoting from an upstream bug report filed against Anjuta for the same
issue I'm seeing on F14

Anyway, gdl 2.31.x is broken and gnome-2-32 will ship gdl 2.30.x.
