Hi, Could you please branch and build freeradius-client for EPEL 9 ? Regards, Xavier
ping
My understanding is freeradius-client is unmaintained and has been forked as radcli. I'll may request an EPEL 9 branch for radcli once I'll get nagios-plugins to build against radcli rather than freeradius-client.
I unfortunately don't have the bandwidth to maintain freeradius-client in EPEL 9. However, I can grant access to an EPEL maintainer who's willing to step in. If you're interested, please let me know and I'll add you in Pagure.
The functionality this package was intended to provide is already available through `radcli`, which is shipped in the base RHEL/CentOS repos for EL8, EL9, and EL10. `radcli` is a source-compatible fork of freeradius-client and should work as a drop-in replacement with minimal or no changes. The original motivation for this request was to enable `nagios-plugins-radius` on EPEL 9 (BZ#2030297). nagios-plugins currently disables the radius plugin on EL9+ due to the absence of freeradius-client. Since `radcli` is already in the base OS and is API-compatible, adapting nagios-plugins to build against `radcli` instead would be a straightforward way to restore this functionality without adding freeradius-client to EPEL.
