Comment 1 R P Herrold 2017-10-23 14:26:17 UTC

Hi, Lamar

I have a local build of a somewhat recent abiword:

[herrold@centos-7 ~]$ rpm -qi abiword-3.0.1-4.el7.centos.x86_64
Name        : abiword
Epoch       : 1
Version     : 3.0.1
Release     : 4.el7.centos
Architecture: x86_64
Install Date: Thu 14 Apr 2016 04:20:03 PM EDT
Group       : Applications/Editors
Size        : 3888011
License     : GPLv2+
Signature   : (none)
Source RPM  : abiword-3.0.1-4.el7.centos.src.rpm


but the current upstream SVN and its build instructions are simply too stale for words.  I know there are some upstream fixes for Wayland and such, but the maintainer is not able get the time to stabilize and then  to cut a currently working variant

Would the SRPM do you any good?  I seem to recall discussing this in the Sci Linux ML, but ...

Comment 2 Lamar Owen 2017-10-23 21:44:57 UTC

Thanks, Russ.  Yes, sure, the SRPM might do some good.  I know Smooge has an Abiword build as well, and I've test-driven that one.

Going to close this as won't fix. If someone wants to step up to do the work it can be revived.
