Description angel.rp 2024-05-29 17:46:09 UTC
Description:
I am requesting the inclusion of the "eza" package in the EPEL repository for RHEL 8. The "eza" package is a modern and user-friendly text editor that would be a valuable addition for RHEL 8 users.

Details:

    Package Name: eza

    Requested Version: (Specify the version if necessary, otherwise leave blank for the latest stable version)
    
    Reason for Request:
       The eza package provides a modern replacement for ls, offering essential utilities that streamline administrative tasks, catering to the needs of developers and system administrators. Currently, this package is unavailable in the EPEL repository for RHEL 8, limiting access for users of this RHEL version.

    Expected Benefits:

       Enhanced administrative efficiency: Improves workflow efficiency for RHEL 8 users by providing necessary administrative tools.
       Diversification of repository offerings: Expands the range of tools available in EPEL for RHEL 8, offering users more choices and improving usability.

Steps to Reproduce:
(Not applicable)

Expected Behavior:
The "eza" package should be available for installation from the EPEL repository on RHEL 8.

Current Behavior:
The "eza" package is not available in the EPEL repository for RHEL 8.

Comment 1 Fabio Valentini 2024-06-07 10:57:10 UTC
RHEL 8 / EPEL 8 doesn't provide the same Rust packaging toolchain as Fedora and RHEL 9 / EPEL 9.
i.e. importing the EPEL 9 package into EPEL 8 doesn't produce a working package.
I'll look into creating a separate package for EPEL 8 when I have the time.

Got it, thanks for the update. Looking forward to any progress on the EPEL 8 package.
