I am investigating how to build apcupsd on CentOS 8. I started the following thread in apcupsd mailing list. https://sourceforge.net/p/apcupsd/mailman/message/36924297/ =========== Hello, I am investigating how much effort it takes to package apcupsd for EPEL 8 repository. A first RPM build failed because package gnome-vfs2 is missing on Enterprise Linux 8 / EPEL8. On Wikipedia I read that gnome-vfs2 has been obsoleted by GVfs and GIO [1]. My question is: is apcupsd still depending from gnome-vfs2? Can this dependency be replaced with its new successors? Best regards [1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GnomeVFS ===========

From https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1745727#c4 > I had managed to build gnome-vfs2-devel and lot of other depended packages on my rebuild VM (RHEL 8.1), so I did not get errors. Thomas do you have a working (on EPEL8) spec file for gnome-vfs2? I may help you
Hi, I used the src rpm from Fedora 31. and used rpmbuild instead of mock to build.
gnome-vfs2-2.24.4-29.fc31.src.rpm
You cannot build gnome-vfs2 on EPEL 8 due missing dependencies ORBit2-devel compat-openssl10-devel
No longer necessary, see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1745727#c5
