One of the PortAudio maintainers just posted to the mailing list saying this patch may be included in their upcoming release. If so, I think updating to the new upstream release would be better than carrying this patch in Fedora. The bug fix was merged and the PortAudio maintainers have made another release candidate. The only remaining questions before they make the 19.7 release are on Windows. Is there a chance to get an updated PortAudio package into Fedora 34 stable before the final freeze on April 6? (In reply to Be from comment #3) > Is there a chance to get an updated PortAudio package into Fedora 34 stable > before the final freeze on April 6? I'll take care of getting either the fix added to the existing packages, or updating to the release-candidate sometime during the coming week. Great, thank you. I will post here as soon as the final PortAudio 19.7 release is published. So our current portaudio is quite old, it is based on the pa_stable_v19_20140130.tgz tarbal, which is ancient. Also we have a patch which adds some extra API which audacity needs which does not apply cleanly to the latest release (I did not check to see how much work porting it is). So all in all, also given that we are already post beta, I believe that for Fedora 34 it would be better to just add the patch necessary for this and otherwise stick with the old version. So I'm preparing a portaudio-19-34 update doing that now. ### It would be nice if we can upgrade to a later upstream version in rawhide, but I don't really have any time to work on portaudio. So a pull-req at https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/portaudio with a (tested please) update would be very much welcome. Or if you are already a Fedora packager I would definitely welcome a co-maintainer for portaudio. BTW for the patch I used the cleanup version which was merged upstream instead of the original patch attached here. FEDORA-2021-82a2775129 has been pushed to the Fedora 35 stable repository. If problem still persists, please make note of it in this bug report. Thank you. I think that is a reasonable decision for Fedora 34. I don't think it should be your responsibility to send the patches Audacity needs upstream to PortAudio. I suggest contacting the Audacity maintainers and encouraging them to open a pull request for upstream PortAudio. If their changes get integrated into the subsequent PortAudio 19.8 release, then Fedora could drop the patches and just use upstream PortAudio. I am not a Fedora package maintainer already, but one of the other Mixxx maintainers is a maintainer for the mixxx RPM Fusion package so he might be interested in helping with the Fedora portaudio package. Looking at the portaudio patch for Audacity I'm wondering if it's really needed. It adds two extensions to the PortAudio OSS backend. Does anyone actually use OSS on Linux anymore? IIUC it is still used on BSD but that's not relevant for Fedora. Hi all. By overhauling and now maintaining our RPM Fusion package I gained some experience on how to package for Fedora. Though I am not considering myself an expert in the field and I haven't contributed to the main repos yet. Aligning the package with the current upstream version would definitely be a desirable objective. Good to know that pull requests aiming in this direction are welcome. FEDORA-2021-6e4c2901ae has been submitted as an update to Fedora 34. https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2021-6e4c2901ae Uwe, if you can provide a pull-req to get portaudio rebased to a newer version that would be great, thanks. I'll also send an email to the Fedora devel list that the portaudio pkg could use a new maintainer or a co-maintainer. I'll put you and Be in the Bcc of the email. FEDORA-2021-6e4c2901ae has been pushed to the Fedora 34 testing repository. Soon you'll be able to install the update with the following command: `sudo dnf upgrade --enablerepo=updates-testing --advisory=FEDORA-2021-6e4c2901ae` You can provide feedback for this update here: https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2021-6e4c2901ae See also https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Updates_Testing for more information on how to test updates. FEDORA-2021-6e4c2901ae has been pushed to the Fedora 34 stable repository. If problem still persists, please make note of it in this bug report. |
