Description Miro Hrončok 2020-01-23 08:15:55 UTC 
meson fails to build with Python 3.9.0a2 with tests enabled.

Looking at the logs, I don't even know how to find the failure :(
Looks like some qt tests fail.

For the build logs, see:
https://copr-be.cloud.fedoraproject.org/results/@python/python3.9/fedora-rawhide-x86_64/01173456-meson/

For all our attempts to build meson with Python 3.9, see:
https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/g/python/python3.9/package/meson/

Testing and mass rebuild of packages is happening in copr. You can follow these instructions to test locally in mock if your package builds with Python 3.9:
https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/g/python/python3.9/

Let us know here if you have any questions.

Python 3.9 will be included in Fedora 33. To make that update smoother, we're building Fedora packages with early pre-releases of Python 3.9.
A build failure prevents us from testing all dependent packages (transitive [Build]Requires), so if this package is required a lot, it's important for us to get it fixed soon.
We'd appreciate help from the people who know this package best, but if you don't want to work on this now, let us know so we can try to work around it on our side.
Comment 1 ekulik 2020-01-23 08:18:58 UTC 
I haven’t had the time to fully get the tests running. Neal Gompa dropped a PR that simply reverts the old spec material without fixing anything, so go figure. The only solution right now is to not build with tests.
Comment 2 Miro Hrončok 2020-01-23 08:27:11 UTC 
That's what we are doing anyway, because we need to build meson without tests first to build some of the test dependencies of meson.
Comment 3 ekulik 2020-01-23 08:30:48 UTC 
I’ll spend the day trying to fix things. A patch I needed was merged just today, so the timing is on our side.
Comment 4 Miro Hrončok 2020-01-23 08:35:09 UTC 
Thanks. Note that given the fact that we actually need to build meson w/out test first, this is not really blocking any of the dependent packages as said in the automated report. No need to rush things.
Comment 5 Ben Cotton 2020-02-11 17:27:42 UTC 
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 32 development cycle.
Changing version to 32.
Comment 6 Miro Hrončok 2020-05-25 13:01:50 UTC 
This comment is mass posted to all bugs blocking the Python 3.9 tracker, sorry if it is not 100 % relevant. When in doubt, please ask.


The Python 3.9 rebuild is in progress in a Koji side tag.

If you fix this bug, please don't rebuild the package in regular rawhide, but do it in the side tag with:

    $ fedpkg build --target=f33-python

The rebuild is progressing slowly and it is possible this package won't have all the required build dependencies yet. If that's the case, please just leave the fix committed and pushed and we will eventually rebuild it for you.

You are not asked to go and try rebuild all the missing dependencies yourself. If you know there is a bootstrap loop in the dependencies, let me know and we can untangle it together.

If you want to test your fix or reproduce the failure, you can still use the Copr repo mentioned in the initial comment of this bug: https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/g/python/python3.9/
Comment 7 Miro Hrončok 2020-05-29 07:11:45 UTC 
Python 3.9 update: The f33-python side tag is currently being merged.

New builds in f33-python are no longer possible, but python3 is not yet updated to Python 3.9 in rawhide. You can check when Python is Python 3.9 with:

    $ koji wait-repo f33-build --build python3.9-3.9.0~b1-3.fc3

And build the packages normally after that.
Comment 8 Miro Hrončok 2020-08-04 23:00:22 UTC 
The following builds were made after this report was opened: meson-0.53.1-1.fc33 meson-0.53.2-1.git88e40c7.fc33 meson-0.54.0-1.fc33 meson-0.54.1-1.fc33 meson-0.54.2-1.fc33 meson-0.54.2-2.fc33 meson-0.54.2-3.fc33 meson-0.54.3-1.fc33 meson-0.54.3-2.fc33 meson-0.55.0-1.fc33 meson-0.55.0-2.fc33 meson-0.55.0~rc1-1.fc33 meson-0.55.0~rc2-1.fc33
Comment 9 Miro Hrončok 2020-08-04 23:02:27 UTC 
All of them without tests thou, sorry for the noise.
Comment 10 Ben Cotton 2020-08-11 13:07:29 UTC 
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 33 development cycle.
Changing version to 33.
