I'm experimenting with splitting off biblatex.  Feedback requested at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1561929

Colin, do you have some specfile to work with? I'm running rawhide texlive on f28 and biber blocks me a bit. I'm fine building my own, I just don't want to duplicate your work:

ERROR - Error: Found biblatex control file version 3.3, expected version 3.2.
This means that your biber (2.6) and biblatex (3.7) versions are incompatible.

Here's a bump with tests disabled.  Can you test if its functional?  I don't have  a rawhide system

https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=26313474

Me neither. Building in https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/churchyard/texlive/

Test on F28 would be fine? You can get the rpm file from the link I pasted above

Perl version problems on f28. Nevertheless:

nothing provides texlive-biblatex >= 7:2017 needed by biber-2.7-1.fc28.noarch

My texlive-biblatex is 7:svn42680-1.fc28

Thanks!

I found a way to test on https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Machine_Resources_For_Package_Maintainers

Unfortunately, build-in tests are disabled :(

I have pushed to rawhide, will do F28 later.

I forgot to check your copr for changes; will try to do that later too.

Miro, I'm confused.  AFAICT, F28 is still on texlive-6:2016 (?)  So I don't think I should bump biber in F28 yet.

The f28 machine listed on the Test Machine Resources is not allowing my login at the moment.

I have texlive from rawhide and I am rebuilding it for older Fedoras because I want the new stuff. However, biber is blocking me. So I tried to rebuild your provided srpm for older Fedoras as well. I ended up with:



nothing provides texlive-biblatex >= 7:2017 needed by biber-2.7-1.fc28.noarch


However, the same problem I get in rawhide with original Fedora's texlive and your build:

    $ mock -r fedora-rawhide-x86_64 --init
    ...
    $ mock -r fedora-rawhide-x86_64 --install ./biber-2.7-1.fc29.noarch.rpm
    ...
    Error: 
     Problem: conflicting requests
      - nothing provides texlive-biblatex >= 7:2017 needed by biber-2.7-1.fc29.noarch
    $ mock -r fedora-rawhide-x86_64 --install texlive-biblatex
    ... installs texlive-biblatex-7:svn42680-1.fc29

Are you still using my scratch build?  I fixed that texlive-biblatex version number and pushed to rawhide yesterday.

Oh. yes, I was using your scratch build. Let me try with rawhide.

That rawhide version fixes my problem. Thanks

I did a simple bumpspec to 2.11. It seems to build just fine, and fixes the incompatibility with the current biblatex too (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1639640)

- rawhide scratch build: https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=30269351
- f29 scratch build: https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=30269353

Assuming that's all that is needed, I've opened a PR here: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/biber/pull-request/1

Cheers,
Ankur
