Description Robert Scheck 2022-11-21 23:23:11 UTC

Please branch and build libmspub in epel9.

If you do not wish to maintain libmspub in epel9, or do not think you will be able to do this in a timely manner, the EPEL Packagers SIG would be happy to be a co-maintainer of the package; please add the epel-packagers-sig group through
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/libmspub/addgroup and grant it commit access, or collaborator access on epel* branches.

Comment 1 Robert Scheck 2022-11-21 23:29:07 UTC

For me, a rebuild of libmspub-0.1.4-21.fc37 on epel9 worked.

Comment 2 David Tardon 2022-11-22 07:39:34 UTC

This package is already present in RHEL 9 / CentOS Stream 9.

Comment 3 David Tardon 2022-11-22 07:46:52 UTC

Btw, it would be good if you give some reason the next time you ask for inclusion of a package in EPEL. The implied "it's not there"--which is wrong in this case anyway--is IMHO not a sufficient justification for the extra maintenance work (and it doesn't matter who ends up doing the maintenance).

Comment 4 Robert Scheck 2022-11-22 08:45:24 UTC

I'm sorry, but I can not find libmspub-devel to build scribus. I'm sorry, I thought blocking bug #2144650 would be clear enough.

Comment 5 Robert Scheck 2022-11-22 09:19:18 UTC

Ah, this is one of the RHEL peculiarities. I've filed bug #2144762 to get libmspub-devel added to CRB 9 (and thus later to RHEL 9). For the mean time, I'm changing this RHBZ to request the short-term solution as per https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/epel/epel-policy-missing-sub-packages/#short_term to hopefully get scribus before RHEL 9.2 into EPEL 9. Please let me know if you are not interested in the short-term solution, then I'll work on this myself.

It would if I had actually noticed the link. But since I was convinced the bug was invalid, I didn't spend much time looking around...

I see. Even these RHEL peculiarities (not publishing all -devel packages in general) are quite annoying, we already got sorted them out for scribus (short and long term).
