Description: I am requesting the inclusion of the "zoxide" package in the EPEL repository for RHEL 8. The "zoxide" package is a modern and efficient replacement for the cd command, offering advanced navigation features that would be a valuable addition for RHEL 8 users. Details: Package Name: zoxide Requested Version: (Specify the version if necessary, otherwise leave blank for the latest stable version) Reason for Request: The zoxide package provides a modern replacement for cd, enhancing the way users navigate the filesystem by learning frequently accessed directories and enabling faster access. It is particularly useful for both developers and system administrators. Currently, the package is not available in the EPEL repository for RHEL 8, which limits its accessibility for users of this RHEL version. Expected Benefits: Improved productivity: Enhances the efficiency of RHEL 8 users by providing a faster and smarter tool for directory navigation. Expansion of available tools: Enriches the variety of tools available in EPEL for RHEL 8, providing users with more options and improving the overall user experience. Attachments: (Not applicable) Steps to Reproduce: (Not applicable) Expected Behavior: The "zoxide" package should be available for installation from the EPEL repository on RHEL 8. Current Behavior: The "zoxide" package is not available in the EPEL repository for RHEL 8.
RHEL 8 / EPEL 8 doesn't provide the same Rust packaging toolchain as Fedora and RHEL 9 / EPEL 9. i.e. importing the EPEL 9 package into EPEL 8 doesn't produce a working package. I'll look into creating a separate package for EPEL 8 when I have the time.
Got it, thanks for the update. Looking forward to any progress on the EPEL 8 package.
