Re: [rawhide] fmt and spdlog upgrade/soname bump

Hi Frantisek,

Thanks so much for picking this up. I kicked off the fmt/spdlog soname bump
a couple of months back and then let it stall, so I really appreciate you
and Mamoru running with it and getting the side-tag landed.  A few notes on
the FTBFS list that might save you some digging:

fex-emu and contour-terminal are fine with fmt 12. Both were green in my
COPR (tchaikov/fmt-12), so if the current rawhide NVRs still fail, it's
something newer rather than the bump.

The FTBFS is caused by fmt 12. I backported the upstream fix (4b65cc9a4c)
and opened a PR at
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/dolphin-emu/pull-request/6

dnf5 (#2798) turned out not to be fmt's fault. It's an i686-only
-Wconversion narrowing in dnf5's own time_t handling that GCC 16 started
flagging. I pushed a fix upstream (0f7fcde0bf28, switching to
system_clock::to_time_t), so it builds again.

Thanks again to you both,
