Description Michel Samia 2016-04-27 11:42:41 UTC
Description of problem: I need jq 1.5 on EL6 to be able to use some functionality of 1.5 which is not present in 1.3 (e.g. functions "join" or "startswith")


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
1.3

How reproducible:
yum info jq


Actual results:
1.3

Expected results:
1.5

Additional info:
Already present in EPEL7

Comment 1 Michel Samia 2016-04-27 11:49:14 UTC
Unfortunately depends on oniguruma, which isn't in EPEL 6.

Comment 3 Carl George 2017-04-14 18:01:33 UTC
Oniguruma is in base EL6.  Please proceed with updating EPEL6's jq to the latest version.  I would like to use the "join" function as well.

Comment 4 Carl George 2017-07-25 21:46:37 UTC
I just requested permission in pkgdb, if you add me I'll build the package for EPEL 6.

Comment 5 Michel Samia 2017-08-07 12:55:10 UTC
pkgdb is dead (in read-only mode). You will probably need to request access in https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/jq

Comment 6 Michel Samia 2017-08-07 13:01:10 UTC
Or maybe you can fork it and send a pull request as documented in https://docs.pagure.org/pagure/index.html

Comment 7 Carl George 2017-08-09 14:10:37 UTC
A pull request doesn't make any sense.  I just desire the master branch to be merged into the el6 branch, and then a build+update submitted.

Comment 9 Ben Cotton 2020-11-05 16:53:15 UTC
This message is a reminder that EPEL 6 is nearing its end of life. Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for EPEL 6 on 2020-11-30. It is our policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a 'version' of 'el6'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later EPEL version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before EPEL 6 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

EPEL el6 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2020-11-30. EPEL el6 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
EPEL please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
