Hello. I would like to update cfitsio in epel6. The current version here has longstanding bugs.
My first question is the correct repoquery command. I'm doing, in a centos 6 machine,
repoquery --whatrequires cfitsio --disablerepo=* --enablerepo=epel -s|sort | uniq
that returns
cfitsio-3.240-3.el6.src.rpm cpl-5.2.0-2.el6.src.rpm gdal-1.7.3-15.el6.src.rpm healpix-2.13a-2.el6.src.rpm munipack-1.2.10-1.el6.src.rpm nightview-0.3.3-1.el6.src.rpm perl-Astro-FITS-CFITSIO-1.05-6.el6.src.rpm root-5.34.38-3.el6.src.rpm siril-0.8-9.el6.src.rpm skyviewer-1.0.0-3.el6.src.rpm wcslib-4.3.1-3.el6.src.rpm
Second, I understand that I have to create a buildroot override and the owners rebuild their packages. Later, to create a common update in bodhi. I can't create the update because I'm do not have the required permissions. Could a proven packager coordinate this?
Thank you

So, I did a check, and all of those will rebuild except wcslib. So wcslib will need a bit of work. It builds on i686 but not x86_64. https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=42643273
When you say you want to fix the bugs. are you meaning apply some patches, or update to a newer version? If it's just applying patches, and leaving the library the same version, you wouldn't need to rebuild anything.
Those bugs have been there for 9 years, and EPEL6 is going to be retired in 7 months. Is it going to be worth the effort?
Second, I understand that I have to create a buildroot override and the owners rebuild their packages. Later, to create a common update in bodhi. I can't create the update because I'm do not have the required permissions. Could a proven packager coordinate this?
I don't have time until mid week (wednesday I believe). If you decide it's worth the effort, and nobody else has volunteered, I could give it a try.

It is true that probably it's not worth the effort. Thank you anyway
