binujp · 2026-05-16T01:20:20Z

Disable avif/libavif support in all packages that depend on it,
then remove the libavif component from the distro.

Packages updated

efl

Control: %bcond avif 1 — bcond controls BuildRequires + meson -Devas-loaders-disabler
Fix: build.without = ["avif"]
Created: base/comps/efl/efl.comp.toml (moved from inline)
Result: No avif dependency in RPMs ✅

gd

Control: %bcond_without avif (Fedora) / %bcond_with avif (RHEL) — bcond controls BR + Requires
Fix: build.without = ["avif"] added to existing comp.toml
Result: No avif dependency in RPMs ✅

SDL2_image

Control: Unconditional BuildRequires: libavif-devel; --disable-avif-shared in configure
Fix: spec-remove-tag to drop BR + spec-search-replace to change --disable-avif-shared to --disable-avif
Created: base/comps/SDL2_image/SDL2_image.comp.toml (moved from inline)
Result: No avif dependency in RPMs ✅

SDL3_image

Control: Unconditional BuildRequires: cmake(libavif) + cmake flags SDLIMAGE_AVIF=ON
Fix: spec-remove-tag to drop BR + spec-search-replace to set AVIF cmake flags OFF
Pin: Pinned to Fedora f43 commit 6b9cdf9 (version 3.4.4) which adds BuildRequires: libpng-static, fixing a pre-existing build failure caused by libpng cmake config referencing libpng16.a
Created: base/comps/SDL3_image/SDL3_image.comp.toml (moved from inline)
Result: No avif dependency in RPMs ✅

opencv

Control: Unconditional BuildRequires: pkgconfig(libavif) — no cmake flag for avif in spec
Fix: spec-remove-tag to drop BR + spec-search-replace to add -DWITH_AVIF=OFF cmake flag
Extended: base/comps/opencv/opencv.comp.toml
Result: No avif dependency in RPMs ✅

webkitgtk

Control: Unconditional BuildRequires: pkgconfig(libavif) — cmake has -DUSE_AVIF option
Fix: spec-remove-tag to drop BR + spec-search-replace to add -DUSE_AVIF=OFF to cmake
Created: base/comps/webkitgtk/webkitgtk.comp.toml (moved from inline)
Result: No avif dependency in RPMs ✅

kf6-kimageformats

Control: Unconditional BuildRequires: cmake(libavif) — auto-discovers avif via cmake
Fix: spec-remove-tag to drop cmake(libavif) BR
Extended: base/comps/kf6-kimageformats/kf6-kimageformats.comp.toml
Result: No avif dependency in RPMs ✅

libavif removal

Removed from base/comps/components.toml
Removed from base/comps/components-publish-channels.toml
Deleted lock file and rendered specs

Build verification

All 7 packages built successfully and verified to have no libavif dependency in resulting RPMs ✅

Not applicable

libheif: Not a component in AZL4
ffmpeg / libavcodec-free: Already removed from distro
gstreamer1-plugins-bad-free: No avif dependency in spec (svt-av1 dep handled in separate PR)

Pull request overview

Removes the libavif component from Azure Linux and surgically disables avif support in every dependent component (efl, gd, SDL2_image, opencv, webkitgtk, kf6-kimageformats) via component overlays and build.without toggles, regenerating the affected rendered specs and locks.

Changes:

Delete libavif component (lock, rendered spec, sources, components.toml entry, publish-channels entry).
Add/extend .comp.toml files for the six dependents to drop libavif BuildRequires and force the avif knob off (bcond build.without, cmake/configure flag overlays).
Re-render specs + refresh locks (and generate .azl.macros for the components newly using build.without).

File	Description
base/comps/components.toml	Drops inline entries for `libavif`, `efl`, `SDL2_image`, `webkitgtk` (now have dedicated comp files).
base/comps/components-publish-channels.toml	Removes `libavif` from publish channel list.
base/comps/efl/efl.comp.toml	New dedicated comp; `build.without = ["avif"]`.
base/comps/gd/gd.comp.toml	Adds `build.without = ["avif"]` and explicit Release bump (manual release).
base/comps/SDL2_image/SDL2_image.comp.toml	New: removes BR and switches `--disable-avif-shared` → `--disable-avif`.
base/comps/opencv/opencv.comp.toml	Adds avif BR removal + `%cmake` regex injection of `-DWITH_AVIF=OFF \`.
base/comps/webkitgtk/webkitgtk.comp.toml	New: removes BR + injects `-DUSE_AVIF=OFF` into both `%cmake` invocations (missing line continuation).
base/comps/kf6-kimageformats/kf6-kimageformats.comp.toml	Removes `cmake(libavif)` BR.
specs/* and locks/*	Re-rendered specs, generated `.azl.macros`, refreshed input fingerprints.
specs/l/libavif/*, locks/libavif.lock	Removed component artifacts.

SDL3_image will also fail to build because it has a BR on cmake(libavif)

binujp · 2026-05-17T14:50:32Z

Interesting that the SDL3_image dependency was not found by any script. A rpm -qR or spec grep clearly shows it, but not a dnf repoquery. Fixed it, added dependency removal overlays to SDL3_image.

specs/l/libavif/libavif.spec:1

The libavif component definition at base/comps/libavif/libavif.comp.toml has not been deleted by this PR. Only the rendered spec (specs/l/libavif/libavif.spec, sources) and the lock file (locks/libavif.lock) are removed, but the component is still defined via [components.libavif] in base/comps/libavif/libavif.comp.toml (picked up by components.toml's includes = ["**/*.comp.toml", ...]). As a result, the component remains active but has no rendered spec/lock, which will cause CI drift (Check Rendered Specs / Update Locks) and leaves stale overlays referencing dav1d. The whole base/comps/libavif/ directory (including libavif.comp.toml) must also be removed to fully retire the component.
