Re: FreeCAD required updates (PySide2 & Coin4)

2019-10-14 Thread Richard Shaw
Just following up if there is a consensus here. If I'm not moving FreeCAD
to Coin4 on F30/31 then I'm going to at least rebuilt with PySide2.

Thanks,
Richard

FreeCAD is now built for Rawhide. I don't run rawhide so not much I can
test but I did built the same stack in my COPR for F30 and 31 as well and
tested FreeCAD as best I could.

Let's get everything built and tested in rawhide first. Based
on how this turns out, an update in F30 and F31 might be appropriate
(with a suitably long testing period, etc). I agree that if the version
in stable Fedora is sufficiently broken, it's better to release an
working update with major version changes than to do nothing.

So the PRs were for Rawhide, but the bug I'm trying to fix exists on all
supported Fedora releases. I wasn't planning on updating F29 at this point
but F30 does have a lot of life left.

I don't like the idea of major upgrades within a release but the list of
dependencies (as noted by the list of PRs) is fairly small and through my
COPR I have found no *build* issues with the update.

I'm open to suggestion here but I don't like leaving broken software in
Fedora and basically having to tell the user, "It's fixed in Rawhide so
you'll get it eventually..."

Thoughts?

Re: FreeCAD required updates (PySide2 & Coin4)

2019-10-09 Thread Mauricio Tavares
Stupid question: does FreeCAD have nightly packages (like openscad)?
If so, how complicate would it be to run the coin4 version there for a
while so people can monkey with it and find issues? Then give some
time; if it seems to work happy, make it production.

Just my two pesos Russos.

Richard I use FreeCAD in Fedora and I want to tahnk you for your work,
it is really appreciated, I think you did the right thing given the
circumstances.

If a maintainer wants to have a say, they have to do the work, or be
completely responsive at least, otherwise they need to let go and let
the ones that care do the work have their way.

Simo.

Very few of us (packagers) are computer scientists or the like or paid like
RHEL to evaluate every possible problem that could arise with adopting new
releases of software. Nor can we all be expected to backport fixes in every
case. If you want that, run RHEL/CentOS instead. In the case of Coin4 is
addresses a REAL issue with FreeCAD and Coin3. I built test packages of the
whole stack and even went so far as to create a COPR to test the result and
moving to Coin4 does indeed fix the problem with importing SVG images as
geometry.

So what do you suggest I do instead? Fedora tends to run the latest
versions of packages on purpose.

I knew you probably wouldn't like the changes which is why I bent over
backwards to be nice about it including submitting pull requests and
communicating with you over email.

I even implemented the alternatives for Coin4 that you have on Coin2/3 just
so they would be compatible instead of just conflicting with Coin2 (which
is a leaf package in Fedora and Coin3 which will be a leaf package after
moving the dependencies over).

I appreciate all the work you did maintaining the Coin3D stack over the
years in Fedora but at the end of the day we are package maintainers not
owners, a clarification that was referenced a few years ago.

Unfortunately I had to resort to posting here on the mailing list to
provoke a response because 3 emails and almost a month later you couldn't
even reply just to say "I'm really busy but I will review your changes."

So again I ask, what was I supposed to do? Ignore a REAL issue because you
don't like people touching your packages? Wait indefinitely?

How long would you wait if you were in my position? What should I have done
differently?

FreeCAD has been in a terrible state in Fedora for years and after a crap
ton of work with getting PySIde2 into Fedora, updating the Coin stack I
would like to be able to ship FUNCTIONAL packages.

Richard

Richard is working on updating Coin to the latest version along with the
dependent packages. The PRs were for rawhide. I don't think there's much
choice: we need to update to latest versions of packages and rawhide is
the appropriate place to do it, and we are early in the release cycle.

I merged the PRs without waiting for your confirmation because
a) this is rawhide
b) Coin4 is ready and built in rawhide, and it is better to get the transition
over and done with than wait.

Updating to Coin4 is required to take care of a longstanding bug[1]

So I'm trying to be nice but I don't think it's doing any good to wait for
a reply that may never come meanwhile the users could easily get the idea
that I (or Fedora) don't care about fixing bugs.

Am I just being impatient?

Thanks,
Richard
