Description Martin Stransky 2017-04-20 09:54:11 UTC
Description of problem:
Firefox 53 fails to build on second arches (ppc/arm).

Comment 1 Michel Normand 2017-05-04 07:45:42 UTC
* extract of build log is reporting a missing def of RegTypeName
  https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org//work/tasks/1157/19231157/build.log
* as per upstream query this is defined in  Architecture-shared.h
  that should be included via Architecture-none.h
  assuming JS_CODEGEN_NONE is defined.
  https://dxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/js/src/jit/none/Architecture-none.h#14
* BUT in unpacked source on fedora this include is not present.
* Suggestion is to add the two patches identified below from upstream.
=== build.log extract:

Comment 2 Michel Normand 2017-05-04 09:10:42 UTC
Note that even if correction of this include, then next failure 
is a rust related error as per scratchbuild (also for x86_64)

Comment 3 Dan Horák 2017-05-04 09:12:14 UTC
the changelog contains

* Tue Apr 18 2017 Martin Stransky <stransky> - 53.0-1
 - Updated to 53.0 (B6)

so probably it's not the GA tarball (if B6 means Beta6), where these fixes would be included. If I see correctly in upstream mercurial repo, then these fixes landed 5 days after creating the FIREFOX_AURORA_53_BASE tag.

Comment 4 Michel Normand 2017-05-04 10:05:49 UTC
Hello Martin
is it feasible to keep firefox 52 in f26, as long as 53 do not build ? this would avoid some openQA tests to fail because of missing firefox at install time.

I don't know how to do that - the builds are already in koji and updates I expect. Can rel-eng do it?

B6 means Build6 as you see them on http://archive.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/candidates/53.0-candidates/

Comment 7 Paul Whalen 2017-05-05 18:32:50 UTC
Proposing as a blocker for F26 Beta, firefox is the default browser on XFCE which is the release blocking desktop image on arm.

AFAIK we don't support Rust on arm now. Should work with disabled Rust, which I'm building now.

Comment 9 Martin Stransky 2017-05-11 18:48:44 UTC
Arm builds are fixed now.

Comment 10 Martin Stransky 2017-05-11 18:55:53 UTC
firefox-53.0.2-3.fc26 is built for ARM. Looks like we still have problems with F24/25 which will be fixed later.

Comment 11 Mike Ruckman 2017-05-12 21:17:40 UTC
Discussed in the 2017-05-02 Blocker Review meeting [0]. This is rejected in favour of the alternative proposal #1448923 , which more precisely reflects the actual criteria violation. There was a long discussion on it during the meeting [1] as well as a mailing list discussion [2] to explain the rationale.

[0] Sorry for the late update on this.

Comment 12 Martin Stransky 2017-05-15 06:43:08 UTC
Let's mark this as Arm build failures and target ppc/s390/aarch64 in different bugs.

Michael, thanks for the patches in comment 1 - that really helped. Right now I work on F25/24 build failures, F26/rawhide seems to be fine.
