Comment 1 williredhat 2019-10-21 09:23:12 UTC
Any update?

Comment 2 Tim Skirvin 2019-12-05 20:39:31 UTC
For what it's worth, the RPM from EPEL7 works on CentOS 8 just fine.

Comment 3 WqyJh 2020-01-26 11:40:18 UTC
It works well in both EPEL6 and EPEL7. I feel uncomfortable without it when I use EL8. So please add it to EPEL8.

Comment 4 James P 2020-02-13 16:13:55 UTC
You could just build the fc31 rpm on a RHEL/Centos 8 box

Comment 8 Adrien Vergé 2020-09-25 15:02:41 UTC
Hello,

It should be very easy to just enable the 'epel8' branch, since the package compiles on CentOS 8.

Shlomi, are you the current maintainer? If not, do you know who it is?

Thanks in advance,

Adrien

Comment 9 Carl George 🤠 2020-09-25 16:11:30 UTC
Shlomi is the current maintainer.

Shlomi, I'd be happy to help co-maintain the package with you and handle building it for epel8.  Please add me to the package in dist-git with commit or admin level permissions (required to request new branches).

I'd be happy to do that, but I cannot find any information on how to add new maintainers on google, duckduckgo or the fedora wiki. Can you please enlighten me?

Regards,

I added @carlwgeorge as admin on https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/the_silver_searcher/ - thanks! Just for the record - to do that, do:

{{
use src.fedoraproject.org - on the package page you want Settings tab then Users & Groups on the left
}}.
