Gentle ping on this issue; I'd like to be able to use my favorite console text editor when SSHing into servers. Also note there are upstream updates available for this package https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2238002

Comment 5 Dwight Schauer 2025-01-05 15:48:23 UTC
Any update on this?

Currently I'm doing the following on systems I'm using epel9 on which is not ideal:


---< start clip >---
# /etc/yum.repos.d/epel8.repo
[epel8]
name=Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux 8 - $basearch
# It is much more secure to use the metalink, but if you wish to use a local mirror
# place its address here.
#baseurl=https://download.example/pub/epel/8/Everything/$basearch/
metalink=https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=epel-8&arch=$basearch&infra=$infra&content=$contentdir
enabled=0
gpgcheck=1
countme=1
gpgkey=https://dfw.mirror.rackspace.com/epel/RPM-GPG-KEY-EPEL-8

---< end clip >---

and using "sudo dnf --enablerepo epel8" when I need to install or update micro.

Will you be able to branch and build micro in epel9?
I would be happy to be a co-maintainer if you do not wish
to build it on epel9 (FAS: jonathanspw).
