Please branch and build dump in epel10.

Comment 1 Jeff Makey 2025-05-24 21:33:09 UTC
The Red Hat decision to remove dump(8) but not restore(8) from RHEL has led to the addition of dump(8) itself to EPEL.  Fedora continues to package both in dump.rpm.  Upstream dump development has resumed so Red Hat may wish to reconsider their deprecation decision, or consider permanently splitting the two programs into respective rpm packages so RHEL can include only restore(8), EPEL can just as easily include only dump(8), and Fedora can include both.  (Maybe modify configure to provide --enable-dump= and --enable-restore= options.)

Regardless of the path chosen this bug is Red Hat's responsibility and I am assigning this to the likely Red Hat developer.
