May we have a 64 bit spin of gnome contacts for EPEL (RHEL 6.x, Scientific Linux 6.x)? There is a SRPM for Fedora Core 19, but it won't recompile # cat /etc/redhat-release Scientific Linux release 6.4 (Carbon) # rpmbuild --rebuild gnome-contacts-3.8.2-2.fc19.src.rpm Installing gnome-contacts-3.8.2-2.fc19.src.rpm warning: user mockbuild does not exist - using root warning: group mockbuild does not exist - using root warning: user mockbuild does not exist - using root warning: group mockbuild does not exist - using root error: Failed build dependencies: folks-devel is needed by gnome-contacts-3.8.2-2.el6.x86_64 gtk3-devel is needed by gnome-contacts-3.8.2-2.el6.x86_64 vala-devel is needed by gnome-contacts-3.8.2-2.el6.x86_64 libnotify-devel is needed by gnome-contacts-3.8.2-2.el6.x86_64 gnome-desktop3-devel is needed by gnome-contacts-3.8.2-2.el6.x86_64 cheese-libs-devel is needed by gnome-contacts-3.8.2-2.el6.x86_64 # yum install folks-devel gtk3-devel vala-devel libnotify-devel gnome-desktop3-devel cheese-libs-devel Loaded plugins: priorities, refresh-packagekit, security 48 packages excluded due to repository priority protections Setting up Install Process No package folks-devel available.

This message is a notice that Fedora 19 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 19. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '19'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 19 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
RHEL 6 (or a derivative) is too old to support gnome-contacts (of any version). The biggest problem is the lack of dependencies (such as gtk3), but all the other dependencies are likely too old. RHEL 7 includes gnome-contacts (and roughly corresponds to Fedora 18/19), so the best way to get gnome-contacts on RHEL is to upgrade.
Hi, I finally did upgrade to 7.1 a month ago. What a nightmare, especially with the dropping of 32 bit support (wine32 was a bugger to figure out). I think I finally have everything back to normal now. Thank you for the response.
