Description Ondrej Dubaj 2021-03-25 12:41:17 UTC 
Your package fails to build with the newest upcoming autoconf-2.71, which is part of a wide Fedora change. Please see the attached copr: https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/odubaj/autoconf-2.70/packages/. More information about testing your package when building with autoconf available here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Autoconf_271#How_To_Test
Comment 1 Ondrej Dubaj 2021-04-12 07:07:30 UTC 
Gentle ping.
Comment 2 Richard W.M. Jones 2021-04-12 07:15:08 UTC 
This package has:

binutils/aclocal.m4:m4_if(m4_defn([AC_AUTOCONF_VERSION]), [2.69],,

(and in several other places).

https://sourceware.org/git/?p=binutils-gdb.git;a=blob;f=binutils/aclocal.m4;h=a877fa7f873d345528289703150cf1ef1899cd38;hb=HEAD#l15

It will require upstream an fix.
Comment 3 Ondrej Dubaj 2021-05-04 07:34:51 UTC 
Hello, any updates from upstream ?
Comment 4 Richard W.M. Jones 2021-05-04 08:50:10 UTC 
I've not even tried.  If this is important I would suggest pursuing the
changes necessary with upstream.  Fedora only deals with packaging and
the clear choice upstream is to remain with 2.69, until I hear otherwise.
Comment 5 Ondrej Dubaj 2021-05-04 09:02:35 UTC 
If I understand it correctly, upstream refuses to move to version 2.69 also in the future ? Then we should create a downstream patch to resolve the problems.
Comment 6 Ondrej Dubaj 2021-05-04 09:03:04 UTC 
...move to version 2.71...
Comment 7 Richard W.M. Jones 2021-05-04 09:14:12 UTC 
No I didn't say that.  I said that if this is important, please contact
upstream and/or send them patches to move to autoconf 2.71.
