Persona non grata

This package has changed maintainer in Fedora. Reassigning to the new maintainer of this component. Dear EPEL/Unison package Maintainer(s), A bump from me, please! I could really do with having Unison packaged for RHEL8 in EPEL. Please let me know if there's anything I can do to move this forward. As a data point the EPEL packages unison240*-2.40.128-5.el7.x86_64.rpm install on RHEL8 and work perfectly well, so I'd hope that... ?version 2.51? should repackage for RHEL8 easily. With very grateful thanks! Ben Is there any chance of a version of Unison for RHEL 8 (and RHEL 9 at this point), please? This package has changed maintainer in Fedora. Reassigning to the new maintainer of this component. (In reply to Ben from comment #3) > Is there any chance of a version of Unison for RHEL 8 (and RHEL 9 at this > point), please? Hey Ben, is there still interest in packaging unison for RHEL 8? I've packaged it for both RHEL 9 and 10 at this point but have not tried RHEL 8.

Hey Ben, sorry to get your hopes up, but I did a test build of unison v2.54.0 on RHEL 8, and they all failed [1]. I believe the cause is that the OCaml compiler on RHEL 8 is too old (v4.07), and indeed unison v2.53.0+ requires OCaml >= 4.08. unison v2.52.1 will perhaps build with the RHEL 8 OCaml v4.07 compiler (I have not tried), but I will not attempt to build this older version of unison for RHEL 8 myself. The good news is that the v2.52 series should at least be wire-protocol compatible with the latest v2.54, so if you can manage to build unison v2.52 for RHEL 8, it should work with the newer versions packaged on the newer distros. [1] https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/mkrupcale/rhel-8-unison/build/10510772/ Hi Matt, Thanks very much for trying. Completely understandable that you won't bother. We'll stick with the RHEL 7 unison240 packages on RHEL 8, which have worked without issue for years. Thank you for providing a native package for RHEL 9 and 10 though. That will help us enormously. |
