Build failure after working for over a year without any changes to repo.

I have a fontconfig repo that has been working for over a year but that all of a sudden quit working although there have not been any changes to the repo. I have not made any changes to any of the files in the repo but it fails with the first error message being:

FAIL: run-test.sh

The last few seconds of the build is as follows:

  114s] make  check-TESTS   114s] make[2]: Entering directory '/home/abuild/rpmbuild/BUILD/fontconfig-2.11.94/test'

Why would this build all of a sudden start bombing when there have not been any changes to the repo?

Thanks,

Hi
Since you don’t run a changes file, hard to say where it’s at, have a look at the later releases changes;
https://build.opensuse.org/package/view_file/M17N/fontconfig/fontconfig.changes?expand=1

Maybe some patches for changes (other file updates) are needed…?

Hi Malcom,

Thanks for the tip. After reviewing that change log I found that one of the patches, make-check.patch, had been removed in a recent June, 2017 release. After I removed that patch then every thing built just fine.
