[13:03] <Son_Goku> alan_g, so this kind of is annoying
[13:03] <Son_Goku> right now, I can run the unit tests for Fedora < 28
[13:03] <alan_g> Son_Goku: totally agree
[13:03] <Son_Goku> because Fedora 28 changes to offer libgmock library
[13:04] <Son_Goku> so that means it needs to handle piles of sources OR libraries for BOTH gtest and gmock
[13:04] <Son_Goku> @_@
[13:04] <Son_Goku> tbf, RAOF asked for this :P
[13:04] <Son_Goku> I didn't know it had been already fixed for Fedora 28
[13:04] <Son_Goku> but it had
[13:05] <Son_Goku> and I still don't understand why the one test fails on my computer
[13:05] <Son_Goku> alan_g: interestingly, none of the tests fail in Koji (the build system)
[13:05] <Son_Goku> so it's really just a problem for me testing builds locally
[13:06] <alan_g> Son_Goku: the gmock changes go in the right direction, so I don't mind hacking around that. (But it may be few days before I can get to it)
[13:07] <alan_g> The test failure is weird.
[13:53] <xnox> alan_g|lunch, Son_Goku - i'm happy to change googletest/gmock/gtest in debian & ubuntu to whatever is the new best known practice to make things nice again everywhere.
[13:53] <xnox> i heard here that compiling a shared library is sane again.
[13:53] <xnox> but not currently done?
[14:03] <Son_Goku> xnox: it is in Fedora now
[14:03] <Son_Goku> but Debian explicitly doesn't do it yet
[14:04] <Son_Goku> the only annoyance is that googletest/googlemock still doesn't do sonames for it
[14:04] <Son_Goku> and Google doesn't want that either
[14:04] <Son_Goku> so *shrugs*
[14:04] <Son_Goku> they're very strange about this stuff
[14:05] <Son_Goku> I've got a couple of patches to apply to our gtest package in Fedora to fix the soname thing
[14:16] <alan_g> xnox: the irritation for me is that Ubuntu 16.04, 17.x and Fedo
[14:16] <Son_Goku> supporting both ways is probably not a bad thing anyway
[14:16] <alan_g> xnox: the irritation for me is that Ubuntu 16.04, 17.x and Fedora 26-27 and 28 all do it differently
[14:17] <Son_Goku> given how fickle Google is
