Bug 343323 – Stabilize =sys-apps/dbus-1.4.0 and =dev-libs/dbus-glib-0.88

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

[Description Samuli Suominen (RETIRED) 2010-10-30 07:13:49 UTC]

no regressions

[Comment 1 Samuli Suominen (RETIRED) 2010-10-30 13:10:08 UTC]

ppc64 done

[Comment 2 Agostino Sarubbo 2010-10-30 15:33:35 UTC]

on amd64 ok

[Comment 3 Mart Raudsepp 2010-10-30 16:02:30 UTC]

This may NOT be stabilized yet due to it dropping .la files, which is not allowed for stable packages yet.

[Comment 4 Samuli Suominen (RETIRED) 2010-10-30 16:17:54 UTC]

It's pretty much required to fix bad interaction between consolekit-0.4.2, and .la files don't block anything

[Comment 5 Mart Raudsepp 2010-10-30 16:26:35 UTC]

Then make a revision that doesn't drop .la files. I believe it is disallowed to drop further such .la files for stable packages by council decision until the global plan commences.
It amazes me how much you hate our users.

[Comment 6 Matthew Turnbull 2010-10-30 16:39:54 UTC]

As I mentioned in bug 343251, dbus-1.2.24-r1 or -r2 would be sufficient to fix the consolekit interoperability problems. Stabilize one of those, then figure out what you're going to do with dbus-1.4.0.

no point in stabling old versions, 1.4.0 is fine

[Comment 8 Jorge Manuel B. S. Vicetto (RETIRED) 2010-10-30 18:20:38 UTC]

As was discussed in last council's decision, please hold this stabilization until we reach an agreement.

[Comment 9 Markos Chandras (RETIRED) 2010-10-31 20:09:32 UTC]

Then remove the arches to avoid further confusion

There is no need to punish stable users while it's being 'discussed (to death)' on ML.  Stabilization should proceed meanwhile.

[Comment 11 Mart Raudsepp 2010-10-31 21:21:23 UTC]

Then don't punish them and make a revision that doesn't remove .la files - to not need to wait. Removing arches from CC meanwhile.

It's been over a week. Has there been any progress?

If Samuli is still being a stick in the mud about this, can another developer make the change?

I know that's typically a no-no, but given the circumstances, I think it's justified. Holding up the fix, to the actual problem, due to one developer's obstinate about following policy (or not stabilizing an older version) is unacceptable.

[Comment 14 Samuli Suominen (RETIRED) 2010-12-19 04:12:29 UTC]

... and now sys-auth/consolekit-0.4.3 should go stable to fix VT_WAITEVENT regressions (bug 349052). dbus-glib is required from here to proceed.

[Comment 16 Alex Buell 2010-12-21 22:22:51 UTC]

Testing on SPARC, sys-apps/dbus 1.4.0 passed all its tests, and dev-libs/dbus-glib-0.88 failed 1 of 2 tests (run-test.sh failed but run-peer-test.sh passed). 

Might be OK for stabilisation though.
