Description Major Hayden 🤠 2015-07-06 13:51:38 UTC 
bwm-ng is really useful and it would be great to have it in EPEL 7.  Would it be possible to get a package pushed that works in RHEL/CentOS 7?
Comment 1 Gianluca Cecchi 2015-12-01 09:41:16 UTC 
me too.
Thanks,
Gianluca
Comment 2 Nils Olav Selåsdal 2016-02-15 20:29:21 UTC 
Any update on this - bwm-ng is quite a useful tool.
Comment 3 Sven Lankes 2016-02-15 20:53:34 UTC 
It needs libstatgrab which currently isn't in EPEL7.

There has been some back- and forth wrt. libstatgrab in fedora - so while I have access rights to the EPEL7-Branch of it I need to find out which version is the right one to package for EPEL7 first.
Comment 4 Sven Lankes 2016-02-16 09:23:58 UTC 
The new bwm-ng no longer depends on libstatgrab so I've built a version for EPEL7:

http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=13004647

Please note that this version isn't submitted as an update for fedora yet so I am not going to push an update to EPEL for the next 4 - 8 weeks. But at least there is progress ...
Comment 5 Nils Olav Selåsdal 2016-02-16 15:44:22 UTC 
I've tested the x86_64 rpm at http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=736253 , and it's not working on RHEL7, it exits immediately:

    [root@vmh1 ~]# bwm-ng
    invalid input selected


I've not done any further investigation. https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/x86_64/bwm-ng-0.6-6.el6.2.x86_64.rpm works fine on RHEL7 though.
Comment 6 Sven Lankes 2016-02-16 20:32:36 UTC 
Right - sorry.

I saw that as well but mistook it for a normal message. My fault. The default input in the config-file needs to be adapted as well.

This works for me - can you try it please?

Comment 7 Nils Olav Selåsdal 2016-02-17 08:03:10 UTC 
Yes, that build seems to work fine.
Comment 8 Gianluca Cecchi 2016-03-23 09:09:35 UTC 
Hello,
I've tested the package in comment#6 on an updated CentOS 7.2 and it works as expected.
Some transfers in both directions with scp and scp display rate matches bwm-ng one.
