Please consider building p7zip for EPEL 10.
Will you be able to branch and build p7zip in epel10? If you do not wish to maintain p7zip in epel10, or do not think you will be able to do this in a timely manner, the EPEL Packagers SIG would be happy to be a co-maintainer of the package; please add the epel-packagers-sig group through https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/p7zip/addgroup and grant it commit access, or collaborator access on epel* branches.
I'm trying find some time to build a newer version on 7zip (don't have the p anymore, is not ported) , but on other hand nowadays why we 7zip ?
My request was due to 7z being an optional test dependency for perl-IO-Compress-Lzma; it's used to test the perl modules' compatibility with 7z.
asahi-installer (which I'm trying to branch for epel10) uses 7z as part of its build process (because it needs to unpack a macOS pkg and 7z works the same on macOS and Linux)
This is also needed as a build- and runtime dependency for quilt.
Sergio - how goes the update to 7zip? Do you have any work in progress that you could share?
https://sergiomb.fedorapeople.org/7zip.spec
based on Debian version
almost finished, I have updated 7zip.spec and src.rpm have the other files: https://sergiomb.fedorapeople.org/7zip-24.08-1.fc43.src.rpm

FEDORA-EPEL-2025-acaec3d5d9 (7zip-24.09-1.el10_1 and asahi-installer-0.7.8-4.el10_1) has been submitted as an update to Fedora EPEL 10.1. https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-EPEL-2025-acaec3d5d9
FEDORA-EPEL-2025-acaec3d5d9 (7zip-24.09-1.el10_1 and asahi-installer-0.7.8-4.el10_1) has been pushed to the Fedora EPEL 10.1 stable repository. If problem still persists, please make note of it in this bug report.
Looks like the new 7zip package isn't fully compatible with the p7zip package in older EPEL releases. The test suite for perl-IO-Compress-Lzma does run successfully, but skips the 7z test because the 7z binary doesn't work as expected: ... t/050interop-lzip.t ...... ok t/050interop-lzma.t ...... ok t/050interop-xz.t ........ ok ERROR: Unsupported archive type # '/usr/bin/7z a -tZip -mm=Lzma tst363X00000.tmp tst363X00001.tmp >/dev/null' failed: 512 t/050interop-zip-lzma.t .. skipped: 7z don't work as expected ...
Not sure why this does not auto-close https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-EPEL-2025-acaec3d5d9
Could this please be branched and built for epel10.0 as well? It seems to build there fine, see https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=133461964. Thanks.
