Description Ondrej Dubaj 2021-03-25 12:45:45 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 Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek 2021-03-28 11:44:10 UTC 
From the copr build log:

warning: line 45: Possible unexpanded macro in: Requires:       (python(abi) = %{python3_version} if python3)
warning: line 104: Possible unexpanded macro in: Requires:       python(abi) = %{python3_version}
error: %changelog not in descending chronological order

This doesn't look related to autoconf stuff at all. Is the copr build set up correctly?
Comment 2 Ondrej Dubaj 2021-03-29 06:19:22 UTC 
This is automatically created issue, as this package has failed to build with autoconf-2.71. No details were investigated.
Comment 3 Ondrej Dubaj 2021-04-12 07:12:42 UTC 
Gentle ping.
Comment 4 Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek 2021-04-12 09:17:11 UTC 
This original issue was a stupid %changelog incongruity, that was fixed in the rawhide branch when
this was originally reported. But I now see that there's a separate issue that seems to be related
to autoconf. I'll look into it.
Comment 5 Ondrej Dubaj 2021-05-04 07:53:34 UTC 
Hi, any updates to this issue ?

Thanks.
Comment 6 Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek 2021-05-17 08:09:15 UTC 
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/mpich/c/0d1f44c9a8ba602bc83d3ba196464f705d2aadcd?branch=rawhide
fixes the issue. I simply removed the part of the configure.ac script that was causing problems
because I couldn't figure out how to fix it. If looking at the patch you understand what was wrong,
let me know, so I can try to tell upstream how to fix it.

Do I need to rebuild it for you to pick it up?
Comment 7 Ondrej Dubaj 2021-07-01 10:38:27 UTC 
Thank you for your effort! There is no need to rebuild the package now, after moving to autoconf-2.71 a mass rebuild will be probably scheduled. All seems good now

Thank you.
