Description (last modified by Frank Batschulat (Oracle))

We need dedicated RPM packages for upcoming Fedora 32 release.

The following had been reported:

i have a issue with
https://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/6.1.6/VirtualBox-6.1-6.1.6_137129_fedora31-1.x86_64.rpm
 
The installation of this rpm on Fedora 32 (which will be released
tomorrow) fails with the following message:
 
# dnf install VirtualBox-6.1-6.1.6_137129_fedora31-1.x86_64.rpm
Letzte Prüfung auf abgelaufene Metadaten: vor 2:14:28 am Mo 27 Apr 2020
16:01:09 CEST.
Fehler:
 Problem: conflicting requests
  - nothing provides python(abi) = 3.7 needed by
VirtualBox-6.1-6.1.6_137129_fedora31-1.x86_64
(try to add '--skip-broken' to skip uninstallable packages)

We need to provide dedicated Fedora 32 RPM packages going forward.

Step 1, small adjustements we need for rpmbuild:

the following changesets are requried internally for build purposes on trunk ( r137774 r137761 r137760 r136377 r138328 r138351) and 6.1 ( r137793 r137904 r138060 r138063 r138340 r138377.).

r137760 & r138060 are:
dbgcMachoCpuType: the type and sub-types are int32_t not uint32_t.

Is there some kind of ETA when we can expect a fedora 32 RPM? I am currently using a test build but would rather use an 'official' released RPM. Thanks in advance.

comment:7 by Frank Batschulat (Oracle), 4 years ago

for Fedora32 support we also need to address:

#19583 GUI crashes when using Qt on Xwayland sessions

comment:8 by ngrennan, 4 years ago

Can you release without fixing the Wayland issue? I am on Fedora 32 and using Xorg, as I have for many Fedora releases. It would work for me as is. The only thing blocking using the 31 rpm, for me, is that it has a dependency on python 3.7 instead of 3.8.

comment:9 by Frank Batschulat (Oracle), 4 years ago

with the changesets for Trunk r138351 and for 6.1.X r138377 the shebang line for vboxshell.py will be switched from unspecified python to python3 during the package build for now. That'll allow rpmbuild to create a package on Fedora 32. /usr/bin/pathfix.py is contained within the python3-devel package which is a pre-requisite for a Virtualbox build server.

Installed VirtualBox-6.1-6.1.10_138449_fedora32-1.x86_64.rpm on F32. Seems to work fine. Thanks!

VirtualBox-6.1-6.1.10_138449_fedora31-1.x86_64.rpm does *not* work on Fedora 32. Same error as 6.1.8:

there will be no Fedora32 packages for the 6.0.X and 5.2.X branches.
