Description Thomas Stephen Lee 2023-02-06 06:24:50 UTC
Please branch and build seamonkey in epel9.

Comment 1 Dmitry Butskoy 2023-02-06 23:34:32 UTC
SeaMonkey still requires python2 to build, but python2 is obsoleted/deprecated and no more provided by RHEL9/CentOS9 and/or epel9.

SeaMonkey upstream now works actively to drop python2 requirement (and replacing all the needed build stuff by python3 code). So it is likely enough that the nearest future SM versions will not have such a requirement. I would like to avoid building a bundled python2 at the SM build time etc. and just wait a bit for further versions.

For now, you can use an universal generic Linux build, provided by me at https://buc.fedorapeople.org/seamonkey/ .

As soon as it will be possible, I will start doing ordinary builds for epel9 as usual.
