New 3.0.0.6 build still broken and wont even install in F42.

  - nothing provides python3dist(ffmpeg-python) needed by howdy-3.0.0-6.20250624gitd3ab993.fc42.x86_64 from copr:copr.fedorainfracloud.org:principis:howdy-beta

This is still after trying to install it from python-ffmpeg-python-0.2.0-8.fc41 | Build Info | koji

I will check tonight - the new build shouldn’t require that though.

Definitely still complains about it. Tried both the beta and normal copr.

I forgot to remove the requires: copr-specs/howdy-beta/howdy.spec at main ¡ principis/copr-specs ¡ GitHub

I don’t have access to my fedora laptop right now, and don’t have time tonight. If you’re able to fix it and test it, feel free to open a PR (don’t forget to bump the releasever). I can create a new build from the UI.

Is this enough?

No, you need to bump the release as well and add a changelog in the correct format. And I would like it to be tested, which means building and installing.

Edit: I’ll try to do it tonight

Do you want me to open another pull request to fix that? I promise it won’t be as messy as last time round :sweat_smile:

Removing the requires does seem to make it install on my fedora 42 toolbx, though strangely without removing it, it would still install on kinoite. Probably related to how rpm-ostree works but don’t quote me on that.

Actually, nevermind, 3.0.0-6 doesn’t install on kinoite too. Not sure how I was able to get it to install back then.

Should be fixed

Hello!Please have howdy support python 3.14 so that it works in Fedora 43 and later.

Thank you, this is exactly how it finally worked for me!

Actually when installing software it doesn’t popup yet.

Confirming that howdy will both break the fedora 42 to 43 upgrade and be uninstallable in fedora 43 if you remove it to proceed. Python 3.14 support is required as nothing provides python(abi) = 3.13 anymore.

That’d be an upstream problem - dlib(a dependency of howdy) was orphaned in f43 because it didn’t build correctly. Be patient, it’ll probably be sorted out soon.

Ok thanks

Hey guys, not sure if it is OK posting another source, but someone created a fork of this one and included the dlib library compiled. That one installed well for me in my laptop and desktop and it is working just fine. starfish/howdy-beta Copr

Thanks bro

oh, you are starfish, the one with the repo that includes the dlib library. Thanks man! not sure if the idea was to use that repo, but I found it and it worked well for me in F43. I spent a lot of time trying to find a solution, because howdy is key for me.
