Description Tomáš Hrnčiar 2021-04-21 09:50:53 UTC
gnumeric fails to build with Python 3.10.0a7.

git grep sys.version
configure:    PY_VERSION=`$PYTHON -c 'import sys ; sys.stdout.write(sys.version[0:3])'`
configure:     major_ver=`$PYTHON -c 'import sys ; sys.stdout.write(sys.version[0:1])'`
configure.ac:    [PY_VERSION=`$PYTHON -c 'import sys ; sys.stdout.write(sys.version[0:3])'`
configure.ac:     major_ver=`$PYTHON -c 'import sys ; sys.stdout.write(sys.version[0:1])'`]

python3.10 -c 'import sys ; sys.stdout.write(sys.version[0:3])'
3.1

For the build logs, see:
https://copr-be.cloud.fedoraproject.org/results/@python/python3.10/fedora-rawhide-x86_64/02141319-gnumeric/

For all our attempts to build gnumeric with Python 3.10, see:
https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/g/python/python3.10/package/gnumeric/

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 3.10:
https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/g/python/python3.10/

Let us know here if you have any questions.

Python 3.10 will be included in Fedora 35. To make that update smoother, we're building Fedora packages with early pre-releases of Python 3.10.
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 Julian Sikorski 2021-04-21 10:10:40 UTC
Morten, it looks like something for upstream.

Comment 2 M Welinder 2021-04-21 16:24:46 UTC
I'll have a look.

That code is old enough to vote.  It's a wonder we didn't get bitten until now.

Comment 3 Petr Viktorin 2021-04-22 09:36:03 UTC
> It's a wonder we didn't get bitten until now.

That's nothing to wonder about -- 3.10 is Python's first double-digit minor version.

Comment 4 M Welinder 2021-04-22 23:21:29 UTC

Tentative minimal patch

This might work.

Comment 5 Miro Hrončok 2021-04-23 08:15:03 UTC
Suggestion: Use "{:d}".format(*sys.version_info) for major_ver (for consistency and future compatibility with Python 10+ -- this sounds silly now, but I guess so did Python 3.10+ once).

Comment 6 Miro Hrončok 2021-04-23 08:16:06 UTC
Ignore my previous comment. It is already compatible with Python 10+. I've misread str(sys.version_info[0]) as str(sys.version[0]).

Comment 7 Julian Sikorski 2021-04-25 13:35:07 UTC
The error is different now

make[3]: Leaving directory '/builddir/build/BUILD/gnumeric-1.12.49/plugins/python-loader'
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lpython

Comment 8 M Welinder 2021-04-25 13:51:27 UTC
Not good.

I cannot actually test this, so I hope I can lean on you for a bit of
debugging of what is going on here.

Comment 9 Miro Hrončok 2021-06-04 20:12:48 UTC
This is a mass-posted update. Sorry if it is not 100% accurate to this bugzilla.


The Python 3.10 rebuild is in progress in a Koji side tag. If you manage to fix the problem, please commit the fix in the rawhide branch, but don't build the package in regular rawhide.

You can either build the package in the side tag, with:

    $ fedpkg build --target=f35-python

Or you can the build and we will eventually build it for you.

Note that the rebuild is still in progress, so not all (build) dependencies of this package might be available right away.

Thanks.

If you have general questions about the rebuild, please use this mailing list thread: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org/thread/G47SGOYIQLRDTWGOSLSWERZSSHXDEDH5/

Comment 10 Miro Hrončok 2021-06-07 22:57:47 UTC
The f35-python side tag has been merged to Rawhide. From now on, build as you would normally build.
