Description Nikos Mavrogiannopoulos 2020-11-14 22:08:55 UTC
Description of problem:
The last release of freeradius-client is from 2015 and the fedora package has not been updated since then. Please switch to radcli which is a live fork of this project. The move to this project should be as easy as updating the dependency to racli-devel as it provides source code compatibility.

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 34 development cycle.
Changing version to 34.

Hi Guido,

This bug was assigned to orphan-owner, I gave it to you.
if freeradius-client is to be replaced by radcli, then no need to branch freeradius-client for EPEL 9, but rather first make the change in rawhide then request an EPEL 9 branch for radcli instead.
What do you think ?

Regards,
Xavier

Comment 4 Xavier Bachelot 2022-01-28 09:57:37 UTC
Here's some preliminary work to allow to use radcli instead of freeradius-client.
https://src.fedoraproject.org/fork/xavierb/rpms/nagios-plugins/branches?branchname=radcli
It builds fine but fails at make install step.

Comment 5 Ben Cotton 2022-02-08 20:27:25 UTC
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 36 development cycle.
Changing version to 36.

Comment 6 Ben Cotton 2023-04-25 16:41:14 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora Linux 36 is nearing its end of life.
Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora Linux 36 on 2023-05-16.
It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer
maintained.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 '36'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora Linux version. Note that the version field may be hidden.
Click the "Show advanced fields" button if you do not see it.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora Linux 36 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 Linux, you are encouraged to change the 'version' to a later version
prior to this bug being closed.

Comment 7 Ludek Smid 2023-05-25 16:45:01 UTC
Fedora Linux 36 entered end-of-life (EOL) status on 2023-05-16.

Fedora Linux 36 is no longer maintained, which means that it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 Fedora Linux
please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Note that the version
field may be hidden. Click the "Show advanced fields" button if you do not see
the version field.

If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against an
active release.

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