package for Amazon Linux 2023

[danie-dejager]

Hi,

Would it be possible to add AL2023 to your copr repos for Tracer? The default spec fails to build as AL2023 is based on Fedora but does not have dnf5. I removed the dependency and built tracer in my own copr repo.
https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/faramirza/al2023/build/8450415/
Also, I do not see the dnf plugin, dnf-plugins-extras-tracer, as part of the spec file as mentioned here:
https://tracer.readthedocs.io/en/latest/get-tracer.html

Hello @danie-dejager,
thank you for the report.

In the specfile, we have a condition to install the DNF5 package only on Fedora:

%if 0%{?fedora}
BuildRequires:  python3-libdnf5
%endif

So this looks like an Amazon Linux bug to me. Check this out:

$ docker run -it amazonlinux:latest
bash-5.2# rpm --eval "%{?fedora}"
34

I know that Amazon Linux is based on / forked from Fedora but this surely cannot be correct, can it? For example Centos is forked from Fedora to and it evaluates the macro to nothing:

$ docker run -it quay.io/centos/centos:stream9
[root@b935674e81de /]# rpm --eval "%{?fedora}"

Also, I do not see the dnf plugin, dnf-plugins-extras-tracer, as part of the spec file as mentioned here:

The DNF plugin is in the dnf-plugins-extras repository

• Code: https://github.com/rpm-software-management/dnf-plugins-extras/blob/master/plugins/tracer.py
• Spec: https://github.com/rpm-software-management/dnf-plugins-extras/blob/master/dnf-plugins-extras.spec

But yes, definitely. Once we resolve the issue, I will enable those chroots.
