Hi -- it looks like this pullreq may have broken the "coverity" job that (run on a separate schedule from main CI) does a QEMU build to upload to the coverity scan service: https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu/-/jobs/13264087007 It fails during QEMU configure: Dependency libnfs found: NO. Found 16.2.0 but need: '<6.0.0' ; matched: '>=1.9.3' Run-time dependency libnfs found: NO ../meson.build:1150:11: ERROR: Dependency lookup for libnfs with method 'pkgconfig' failed: Invalid version, need 'libnfs' ['<6.0.0'] found '16.2.0'. I'm guessing this is because: * the coverity job runs on the amd64-fedora-container * we just upgraded our Fedora container to F43 * coverity configures with --enable-libnfs * in meson.build we enforce libnfs < 6.0.0 * F43 ships with a newer libnfs The "not libnfs v6" restriction was added by thuth in commit e2d98f257138 in 2024 because of a big API change in libnfs v6. The theory was that this was a temporary hack until somebody updated block/nfs.c to handle the new API. Over a year later, nobody has touched block/nfs.c... I guess for the moment we should fix the Coverity build by dropping the --enable-libnfs (and accepting that we don't scan block/nfs.c any more). For the longer term: * does anybody want to update block/nfs.c ? * or should we mark it as deprecated and plan to eventually drop it, given that the set of supported distros you can build it on is rapidly shrinking ? thanks -- PMM
