Description Enrique 2022-02-21 18:21:27 UTC

Please branch and build gRPC in epel7/8/9.

It would be great if gRPC, with at least c++ and python language bindings. I can help with testing and potential troubleshooting.

Dependencies are an issue here for older distributions. See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1757147 for EPEL8, which I resolved as WONTFIX after quite a bit of investigation.

EPEL9 is planned, and you can track progress at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2053630. Currently, much of the dependency tree is complete, but there are quite a few Python packages that still need to be branched; the abseil-cpp update in https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/abseil-cpp/pull-request/1 needs to be completed in Rawhide and branched to EPEL9; and I need to evaluate whether the abseil-cpp update allows me to get grpc up to date in Rawhide—currently blocked by undiagnosed segfaults in the tests related to absl::string_view.

I’ll post status updates in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2053630 and in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2024386. I’m happy to have your help with any issues that come up.

Hi,

thank you very much for your prompt comment. I see you had an extensive work trying to make it work for EPEL 8. Our systems are currently using EPEL 7 and would migrate to EPEL 8 soon, but I am afraid EPEL 9 is still far in the future. I will nevertheless check https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2053630 once a package is ready.

Thank you!
