Description Petr Špaček 2017-08-23 15:38:57 UTC 
It would be great if you could build meson packages for EPEL 7 as well.

Thank you for considering this!
Comment 1 Igor Gnatenko 2017-08-23 15:53:40 UTC 
EPEL policies state that package should not have incompatible updates. It is not possible with meson -> WONTFIX..



Though I maintain COPR repository for this -- https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/ignatenkobrain/meson-el7
Comment 2 Petr Špaček 2017-08-23 15:57:53 UTC 
Okay, thank you for reply. Unfortunatelly COPR is not good enough because we wanted to used meson to build knot-resolver in EPEL, which would not be possible.

Have a nice day!

Do you already have EPEL7 branch in there and update now requires meson or you were planning to create new EPEL7 branch?
Comment 4 Petr Špaček 2017-08-24 10:47:33 UTC 
To give you more background:
We were considering move to meson in Knot Resolver upstream. The fact that meson is not available in EPEL 7 is a reason not to move to meson upstream because it would prevent us from building new versions of knot-resolver package for RHEL.

Thanks for providing background!

If this is the only one thing which blocks you (upstream) from switching to meson? If so - I will definitely go ahead and create EPEL7 branch in some nearest future.


P.S. I hope you don't want to have it in EPEL6.. ;)
Comment 6 Petr Špaček 2017-08-24 14:06:02 UTC 
EPEL 6 is a dead horse for us. Thank you!
Comment 7 Petr Špaček 2017-08-24 14:22:09 UTC 
Oh, wait, I just realized we have to check another platform - Turris OS. I will keep you posted with results.
Comment 8 Igor Gnatenko 2017-08-24 14:33:38 UTC 
Also note that since it is build-time dependency and you don't have problems with using network connection from there, you could run `pip install meson` or such..

Comment 11 Tuomo Soini 2017-09-20 06:49:56 UTC 
There is a issue in meson. It doesn't build against rhel 7.4 version of vulkan and I just requested retirement of vulkan on epel7 because it updates rhel7 version.
Comment 12 Tuomo Soini 2017-09-20 06:53:07 UTC 
Check bug#1493407
Comment 13 Tuomo Soini 2017-09-20 07:10:18 UTC 
Tested - meson builds fine against rhel7 vulkan if BR: pkgconfig(vulkan) is changed to vulkan-devel.

mind reporting new bug for upstream meson so we can try to fix it?
Comment 15 Tuomo Soini 2017-09-20 07:54:29 UTC 
This is spec only issue.
Comment 16 Tuomo Soini 2017-09-20 07:55:07 UTC 
I explain better: rhel7 has older vulcan which doesn't provide pkgconfig(vulcan).
Comment 17 Tuomo Soini 2017-09-20 09:31:16 UTC 
Sorry. pkgconfig(vulkan).
Comment 18 Fedora Update System 2017-10-04 22:18:30 UTC 
meson-0.42.1-1.el7 has been pushed to the Fedora EPEL 7 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report.
