What happen or what to do with packages which needs rebuild ? about arch4edu HOT 7 CLOSED

The script shows that cloudcompare-2.12.4-1 does have a broken link to libgdal.so.32. I'll trigger the rebuild now.

Hi, currently we manually run the script mentioned in arch4edu/cactus#5 from time to time to find out which packages need rebuild. Then we trigger the rebuild via a workflow in cactus.

The process could be definitely automatized but it's not in a very high priority.
Any contribution is appreciated to speed up launching this feature :).

For now, you can open an issue to tell us if there is any package needs rebuild. Then we will trigger the workflow.

Ok thank you!
So for example, cloudcompare reference older version of gdal. If we make gdal in makedepends it could be rebuilt everytime gdal is update. Am I wrong ?

If we make gdal in makedepends it could be rebuilt everytime gdal is update.

This can be achieved by adding an entry like:

- source: archpkg
  archpkg: gdal
  from_pattern: '^(\d+\.\d+)\..*'
  to_pattern: '\1'

to the nvchecker field in cloudcompare/cactus.yaml.

As you can see the configuration is a little bit complicated so it's rarely used in our repository.
And such configurations will be eventually replaced by the automatic broken link detection feature mentioned in arch4edu/cactus#5.
