Description David Cantrell 2014-05-13 19:27:15 UTC
I can't install xmonad from EPEL 7 on RHEL 7.0 because the EPEL 7 repo is lacking the terminus-font package.  Looks like an easy one to take care of, if the terminus-font owner does not want to maintain a branch for EPEL 7, I'll do it.

Comment 1 Jens Petersen 2014-05-14 06:57:51 UTC
Okay but the dependency on terminus-fonts is actually coming from dmenu.

In the meantime, it seems only possible to install xmonad-core,
xmonad-config, and/or xmonad-mate.

Did you ask the terminus-fonts owner about an epel7 branch?
Anyway I asked in bug 486248.

Comment 2 Jens Petersen 2014-05-19 07:53:38 UTC
Or perhaps better to reassign to terminus-fonts,
unless you plan a workaround in dmenu?

Yes, it'd be better to reassign the proper owner. But since you've emailed the owner of terminus, is it worthwhile doing this again?

I have problem in my browser of changing the component process in bugzilla, feel free to do this.

Thanks.

Comment 4 Jens Petersen 2014-05-19 08:31:24 UTC
Hmm, seems no terminus-fonts component in bugzilla for EPEL 7 either....

Okay I cc'ed him in this bug too.
He might have missed the bugzilla comment.

Comment 6 Jiri Pirko 2014-07-05 09:12:04 UTC
Any news here? Should be very easy to create epel7 branch for terminus-fonts.

Comment 7 Jens Petersen 2014-07-07 07:44:27 UTC
I just tried to force removing terminus-fonts and checked that dmenu
seems to work fine without terminus-fonts installed in RHEL7.

Is it possible to drop the dependency on terminus-fonts from dmenu
at least for EPEL 7?

And/or I could temporarily drop the dependency on dmenu from xmonad
until this is resolved.

I contacted ndim again, hopefully at the right email address.

Comment 8 Jens Petersen 2014-07-09 03:18:49 UTC
I just noticed that there was a epel7 branch and I went ahead and built it.

Yep, I requested it. Thanks for the build Jens.

Comment 10 Jens Petersen 2014-09-02 05:03:56 UTC
This should be long fixed.  Please reopen if you still see an issue.
