rt-tests doubled in repo

[henning]

After adding the audinux repo to a machine, when trying to rt-tests i get a long list of packages to install that made me suspicious:

$ sudo dnf install  rt-tests

This looks very much like what really installed there is tests for and the software Request Tracker itself ( an enormous issue tracking system)... totally not what i want...

So i tried another way, restricting to the use of audinux copr repo:

`$ sudo dnf install --repo=audinux rt-tests

Problem: cannot install the best candidate for the job

Is this ok [y/N]:
`

it looks like i will probably get the rt-tests from this specs repo here, but still looks fishy...

No idea what to do with that now, but I thought i should let you know ;)

[ycollet]

Thanks for this report.
If you open the spec file for rt-tests, the list of build dependencies are the following:

BuildRequires: gcc
BuildRequires: make
BuildRequires: numactl-devel
BuildRequires: python3
BuildRequires: python3-rpm-macros

So, I tried to rebuild the rt-tests packages using rpmbuild -bi (build and install only).
I checked the installation and was not able to see which part of rt-tests required perl for example.
I checked the build dependencies and was not able to see which one required the perl deps ...
So, thanks for the report again and I will investigate on my side.

I will try to check if I can find other spec files for rt-tests and try to fix the spec accordingly.

[ycollet]

The opensuse spec has the same structure ...
https://rpmfind.net/linux/RPM/opensuse/16.0/aarch64/rt-tests-2.8-160000.1.9.aarch64.html

[ycollet]

Ah ... There is another rt-tests package on Fedora:
https://rpmfind.net/linux/RPM/fedora/devel/rawhide/x86_64/r/rt-tests-5.0.7-3.fc42.noarch.html

This one is way bigger and has perl as dependencies ...

[ycollet]

Can you try:

$ dnf install rt-tests-2.9

[henning]

yes dnf install rt-tests-2.9 works!

I was also suspecting that there exists another rt-tests already, but what I found strange was that the message said

Skipping packages with broken dependencies:
rt-tests noarch 5.0.7-2.fc42 copr:copr.fedorainfracloud.org:ycollet 2.9 MiB

which made it look like this package also came from the audinux repo...

[henning]

oh but that seems not a viable solution in the end - when I do a dnf upgrade after this, the "latest" rt-tests version 5.* something is installed including a full request tracker / rt install...

...
rt-tests                                              noarch 5.0.7-3.fc42                             fedora                      2.9 MiB
   replacing rt-tests                                  x86_64 2.9-1.fc42                               copr:copr.fedorainfraclou 573.1 KiB
...

here we suddenly see that this 5.* version is from the fedora repo, unlike in the previous output.

Probably it's somehow possible to pin rt-tests to a specific version, but then it will never be upgraded...
There's probably also a workaround for that again, but I start to think the best way to fix this is to rename the package?

for example something like realtime-tests?

[ycollet]

I think I will use "kernel-rt-tests".
I wanted a name with "rt-tests" in it. To ease people find the package by part of its name.

[henning]

also fine with me. I just came up with the first idea that i thought of ;)

[ycollet]

A priori the package kernel-rt-tests is now ready :)
