Description Andreas Luik 2021-07-15 15:03:25 UTC

Description of problem:

It seems as if postgis is not yet available in EPEL-8.  Can this be added?
As postgresql-server is available via modules i ndifferent versions, matching postgis modules would be need, I guess.

Comment 1 Andreas Luik 2022-03-30 20:37:12 UTC

The lack of an EPEL8 (or RHEL 8) postgis package is one of the last remaining obstacles for a smooth transition from EL7 to EL8.

I have been able to rebuild the postgis-3.1.3-1.fc34.src.rpm pretty much out-of-the-box (with disabling SFCGAL (similar to the armv7hl arch), because SFCGAL is not (yet?) available in EPEL and without the llvmjit subpackage (I've not had a look into this)). So from a dependency point of view, building an EL8 postgis RPM should be possible.

Is there anything I can hep with to get this realized?

Comment 2 Sandro Mani 2022-03-30 20:51:07 UTC

Sorry this fell off my radar. Are you a packager? Are you interested in maintaining postgis for EPEL? I don't use EPEL myself so I'd prefer not to blindly maintain the package.

Comment 3 Devrim Gündüz 2022-03-31 09:06:00 UTC

I'll do that. Already maintaining upstream packaging.

Comment 4 Andreas Luik 2022-03-31 13:29:34 UTC

Great, I'm glad to read this.

Comment 5 Andreas Luik 2022-04-27 11:59:26 UTC

I'd like to kindly ask whether there is progress on this?  (Otherwise I'd need to build postgis myself ...)
