You can recompile the EL6 SRPM with "mock" (yum install mock) to prepare a clean EL7 package: # fetch SRPM wget http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/development/21/source/SRPMS/t/tsocks-1.8-0.14.beta5.fc21.src.rpm # mock to EL7 mock -r epel-7-x86_64 --rebuild tsocks-1.8-0.14.beta5.fc21.src.rpm # see created S/RPMs: ls -la /var/lib/mock/epel-7-x86_64/result # install sudo yum localinstall /var/lib/mock/epel-7-x86_64/result/tsocks-1.8-0.14.beta5.el7.centos.x86_64.rpm Installed: tsocks.x86_64 0:1.8-0.14.beta5.el7.centos Tested on Scientific Linux 7, works fine. It would be great to see this package in EPEL7. Created now as (inofficial) repo here: https://copr.fedoraproject.org/coprs/neteler/tsocks/ su wget -O /etc/yum.repos.d/tsocks-epel-7.repo https://copr.fedoraproject.org/coprs/neteler/tsocks/repo/epel-7/neteler-tsocks-epel-7.repo yum update yum install tsocks markusN: Great initiative on getting an el7 package for tsocks that you share with other. You can also become the tsocks maintainer for the el7 branch directly in epel when maintainers don't respond to el7 requests. This would be a better solution in the long run because it makes it easier for users to install tsock with just the epel repo enabled (i.e. users wouldn't have to enable another repo to get tsocks). Here's the documentation that explains the process: If it is unclear if the Fedora maintainer of the package intends to participate in EPEL then the proposed EPEL maintainer should file a bug against the package and ask about their plans for EPEL in general and the package at hand. If there is no answer within seven days the proposed EPEL maintainer is free to request the EPEL branch and become the EPEL Maintainer (CC the Fedora maintainer here as well). Please note on your CVS request the number of the bug you filed. If the Fedora maintainer decides not to be active in EPEL they should be added to the CC list for all bugs so that collaboration can happen where a bug effects Fedora and EPEL. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Getting_a_Fedora_package_in_EPEL This package has changed maintainer in Fedora. Reassigning to the new maintainer of this component. EPEL 7 entered end-of-life (EOL) status on 2024-06-30.\n\nEPEL 7 is no longer maintained, which means that it\nwill not receive any further security or bug fix updates.\n As a result we are closing this bug. |
