Dear developers-
patches https://gerrit.openafs.org/#/c/16277/ and
https://gerrit.openafs.org/#/c/16276/1 fail to fix openafs-1.8.13.2 for
compilation under Fedora 42 and kernel 6.14.2-300. The error I get using
rpmbuild is:
iomgr.c:50:23: error: =E2=80=98bool=E2=80=99 cannot be defined via =E2=80=
=98typedef=E2=80=99
50 | typedef unsigned char bool;
| ^~~~
iomgr.c:50:23: note: =E2=80=98bool=E2=80=99 is a keyword with =E2=80=98-std=
=3Dc23=E2=80=99 onwards
iomgr.c:50:1: warning: useless type name in empty declaration
50 | typedef unsigned char bool;
This was after applying the patches manually with "patch -p1 < patchfile"
to the source code extracted from the bunzip2 tar file, recreating the tar
file, executing the procedure to turn tar files into a src rpm, and issuing
"rpmbuild --rebuild xxx.src.rpm".
Let me know if I can provide any other information.
Thank you and please advise,
Eric
