Description Xavier Bachelot 2026-05-09 21:43:30 UTC 
Hi,

Could you please branch and build libmcrypt for EPEL 10 ?
It is needed to build another package.

Regards,
Xavier

For memory, libmcrypt is a dead project, for 18 years (last release in 2008)

Nobody serious should rely on it, especially for cryptographic needs.

Agreed, but this is what nsca uses. I'll ping nsca upstream about this. Fwiw, the request to add nsca to EL10 came from an @nagios.com mail address.
