#9110 Unretire rpms/checkstyle
Closed: It's all good 4 years ago by jamesturner246. Opened 4 years ago by jamesturner246.

  • Describe the issue
    scilab depends on checkstyle. I have requested to unretire treelayout, an indirect dependency of checkstyle, here: https://pagure.io/releng/issue/9109.

  • When do you need this? (YYYY/MM/DD)
    Ideally with enough time before the f32 branch deadline.

  • When is this no longer needed or useful? (YYYY/MM/DD)
    When scilab no longer depends on checkstyle to build.

  • If we cannot complete your request, what is the impact?
    scilab will remain FTBFS.

Thanks.


Speaking as the person who orphaned / retired checkstyle: Do you really need the package? The last available version was seriously outdated, broken, and had multiple open security issues.

Can't you just disable code style checks? Those aren't useful for fedora builds anyway ...

PS: Since checkstyle was retired 5 months ago already, you will also need to do a package re-review, so you'd have to work on updating the package and plugging the security holes before it can be reintroduced in fedora.

Hi decathorpe.

If we can get by without using the checkstyle package, then that would be great. I will see about disabling it.

scilab builds without code style checks with no modifications. I will close this issue.

Thanks.
