Description Upstream Release Monitoring 2017-04-19 00:12:27 UTC 
Latest upstream release: 5.5
Current version/release in rawhide: 5.4-7.fc26
URL: http://mielke.cc/brltty/download.html

Please consult the package updates policy before you issue an update to a stable branch: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Updates_Policy

More information about the service that created this bug can be found at: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Upstream_release_monitoring

Please keep in mind that with any upstream change, there may also be packaging changes that need to be made. Specifically, please remember that it is your responsibility to review the new version to ensure that the licensing is still correct and that no non-free or legally problematic items have been added upstream.

Comment 1 Upstream Release Monitoring 2017-04-19 00:12:34 UTC 
One or more of the specfile's Sources is not a valid URL so we cannot automatically build the new version for you.Please use a URL in your Source declarations if possible.
Comment 2 Gwyn Ciesla 2017-04-19 14:34:11 UTC 
Updated in git, but neither 5.4 or 5.5 builds with python 3.6.  Investigating, more eyes welcome.
Comment 3 Troy Dawson 2017-06-16 14:04:12 UTC 
Currently the builds aren't even making it to the python3 section.  Doing a build in f26 or rawhide gives the following error.
...
make[3]: Leaving directory '/builddir/build/BUILD/brltty-5.4/Programs'
set -- --quiet build --build-temp .; \
[ "linux-gnu" != "mingw32" ] || set -- "${@}" --compiler mingw32; \
/usr/bin/python2 ./setup.py "${@}"
cc1: error: -Wformat-security ignored without -Wformat [-Werror=format-security]
cc1: some warnings being treated as errors
error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1
...

This is because the package is building with the -Werror=format-security set, but in setup.py we are setting -Wno-format
In order for it to build we have to do one of two things (though I'm not ruling out something different) to change the flags in setup.py.

Both get you past this build error.

But then unfortunately, we're back to the original problem, that it's not building on python 3.6.
Comment 4 Gwyn Ciesla 2017-06-16 14:18:32 UTC 
Upstream fixed the cflags issue in 5.5; only the Python 3 issue remains.  I'll dig into it further today.
Comment 5 Gwyn Ciesla 2017-06-16 16:03:24 UTC 
configure isn't doing what is ought to be with the PYTHON environment variable, even if I manually specify all the related variables, or re-run autogen.  Sent message to the mailing list.
