Description of problem: Request for EPEL8 branch and build for lightdm-gtk. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.0.6 or current How reproducible: N/A Steps to Reproduce: 1. CentOS 8 system w/ EPEL repo enabled 2. dnf install lightdm-gtk 3. Actual results: no package found. Expected results: an available package... :-) Additional info: I'm a Fedora packager but primarily use EPEL repositories, and can be a co-maintainer if that's helpful.
Created attachment 1672806 [details] patches required to build lightdm-gtk 1.8.5 for EPEL8 A couple of patches needed to build for EPEL 8 lightdm-gtk 1.8.5 src.rpm from EPEL7
I'd like to see that package in EPEL8, too. I can maintain it for EPEL8 if you don't want to struggle with that.
Is there a blocker for that package ? Can I help ?
The package from Fedora rawhide (lightdm-gtk-2.0.8-3.fc36) builds just fine, and installs on epel8. Also, lightdm has already been built for epel8, but is not installable, because it requires lightdm-gtk. There has already been two people saying they will maintain it in epel8. I will be a third. If you do not wish to maintain lightdm-gtk in epel9, or do not think you will be able to do this in a timely manner, I would be happy to be a co-maintainer of the package.
