Created attachment 1137710 [details] patch on yajl.spec against master branch for EPEL-5 Description of problem: yajl (and -devel) already in Fedora, but lacks in EPEL-5. Need yajl-devel to build burp (1.x) for EPEL-5. Worked on it: build and usage is fine with a minor diff (see attached) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.1.0-5 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. create a el5 branch in yajl git repo 2. patch yajl.spec 3. rebuild for EPEL-5 Additional info: Patch against yajl.spec attached build and runtime is fine in my COPR [1] SRPM file: https://copr-be.cloud.fedoraproject.org/results/yopito/burp2/epel-5-x86_64/00167962-yajl/yajl-2.1.0-5.git.2.20c9073.src.rpm SPEC file: https://github.com/yopito/fedora-epel-pkg/blob/el5/yajl/yajl.spec [1]: https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/yopito/burp2/
Personally I do not invest any time in maintaniing EPEL branches for any packages I maintain, since I don't want to commit to long term support of them. So if yajl is desired in EPEL it'll need a co-maintainer to volunteer
This is needed specifically for EPEL5, since RHEL6 and RHEL7 provides yajl packages. If no one wish to maintain, I could offer my help to (co)maintain the EPEL5 version of yajl. But I'm a newbie in the Fedora world at this point, without any specific roles assigned yet.
