Bug 827723

Note that gnuhealth 1.6.1 is out, but can't be packaged yet until the Tryton stack is updated to the latest 2.4 series -- this is the last release in the 1.4.x line compatible with Tryton 2.2.x

Question for reviewer: since gnuhealth as it is basically is a set of modules for the Tryton application framework, it might be more appropriate to name it trytond-gnuhealth and make it virtually provide gnuhealth. Thoughts?

I think the package should be called gnuhealth as it is a standalone application, even when it uses Tryton as its runtime environment.

Can you please update this to 1.8.1?

Will do. Could you set the review flag?

A 1.8.1-1 release is now available.

Can you please provide an update on this?

Ping!

I unfortunately don't have the time at the moment to package this - new dependencies keep getting added (right now, trytond-stock_lot) and given the number of manual steps needed to get an installation going, I have a bit too much on my plate.

Shakthi, if you'd like to take over, I'd be happy to review this and any other dependency you need to submit as new packages. Apologies for the delay!

Will look into it.

Updated to gnuhealth-1.6.1 and tested on Fedora 18:

SPEC: http://shakthimaan.fedorapeople.org/SPECS/gnuhealth.spec
SRPM: http://shakthimaan.fedorapeople.org/SRPMS/gnuhealth-1.6.1-1.fc18.src.rpm

Successful Koji build for F18:

how do you start the program?? Downloaded from fedorapeople page

You will need to install, setup trytond, tryton and postgresql using the installation documentation at:

  http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/GNU_Health/Installation

Hey, did an informal review and found the following issues:
1. instead of repeating "gnuhealth" hard-coded in the spec, you should use %{name} - as you do with %{version}

2. when you use python source you should require BuildRequires: python2-devel or python3-devel

gnuhealth 2.2.2 is available.

This should be done by the package IMO.

Christopher, please keep in mind, any change in data by just installing a package is explicitly not desired. Since you can not know a database password, this wouldn't even be possible. And configuration of packages is a main difference between .dep and .rpm packages.

Any news?

Wow ... I surprised me when I found out I was not yet in the repositories.
I usually use this software a lot and is very important in their area, however, installation is not intuitive for a common user in Workstation.

You could be a candidate for Flatpak?

How do we fix this?

May be best to close this and open up a fresh review.

To everyone above - if you're interested in using the package on Fedora, please consider packaging it up and helping with maintenance. 

Cheers!

Closing as WONTFIX.
