Description Japheth Cleaver 2019-08-21 21:38:28 UTC
Description of problem:

Please create a branch for moreutils in EPEL8.

Note however that updates are needed in EPEL generally, as well as rawhide, as we're behind upstream by a bit.

See BZ#1168306 BZ#1551478

I tried to install on CentOS8 (centos:8 docker image) and got the following error.

[root@63c6800131dd /]# dnf -y install epel-release

...

Installed:
  epel-release-8-5.el8.noarch

Complete!

Comment 6 hatta@pezy.co.jp 2019-11-08 05:08:54 UTC
Sorry. PowerTools repo seems to be required.
'dnf -y --enablerepo=PowerTools install moreutils' works fine.

Comment 7 Rich 2020-01-25 00:09:49 UTC
Bear in mind please you're advocating subscribing to a new repo, for just one dependency, of just one "nice to have" package of a few kinda corner-case utils that very few people care or even know about. I'm prepping RHEL8 here for a closed environment, so that would require mirroring the entire repo, which would be hard to justify even for a critical package. No blame or anything, but please consider consequences of shuffling the deck before just saying "--enablerepo=PowerTools ... works fine". Thanks!
