Examining -static package build timestamps in koji
* 40 packages in Rawhide are older than one of their -static BuildRequires. Doesn't mean much. Just curious. Of those 40 packages, 7 link with binutils libs 21 link with flex libs-- flex doesn't change often, though 3 link with g2clib libs 6 link with hdf libs 3 link with nss or nss-softokn * The age difference of the builds is between 0 and 447 days compared with their static BR. For g2clib between 15 and 55 days. For hdf between 1 and 60 days. And huh? 447 days? ksplice-0.9.9-2.fc15.src older than binutils-2.22.52.0.2-1.fc18.src.rpm 447 days esc-1.1.0-14.fc15.src older than nss-3.13.4-3.fc18.src.rpm 385 days tilda-0.9.6-6.fc16.src older than flex-2.5.35-15.fc18.src.rpm 231 days * Not bad, I think. -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel

It was superseded by the ksplice 'upstart' package quite a while ago, which is provided by Oracle now. Fedora doesn't support ksplice anyway, so it can probably be dropped. josh -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel

It exports two symbols, totaling something like 10 lines of actual code. Absence of client rebuilds is just not a problem in this case. tilda-0.9.6-6.fc16.src older than flex-2.5.35-15.fc18.src.rpm 231 days Thanks, PM -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
Re: tilda unmaintained? (was: Re: Examining -static package build timestamps in koji)
Well I would like to see tilda maintained in fedora. In this bugreport I created the patch and asked a provenpackager to apply it, which never actually happened. I could of course apply for co-maintainership but I doubt that the maintainer would answer in a timely manner, like on most of his bugreports.

I've got it building, but as correctly noted in the BZs, it crashes until you start it hidden. I'll put what I have in rawhide, if anyone fixes the segfault for real, email me a patch. -J -J I could of course apply for co-maintainership but I doubt that the maintainer would answer in a timely manner, like on most of his bugreports.
