Hello, We would like to request that the blt and blt-devel packages be made available in EPEL 8 for x86_64 architecture. These packages are available in Fedora (e.g., Fedora 32), and would be helpful for applications on RHEL 8 systems that rely on Tcl/Tk extensions. Please let us know if there's anything we can do to help enable this, such as testing or contributing to the spec files. Thank you for considering this request. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Try to install blt or blt-devel on RHEL 8 using EPEL 8: 2. sudo dnf install blt Actual Results: The blt and blt-devel packages are not available in EPEL 8 for x86_64. Expected Results: blt and blt-devel should be available in EPEL 8 to support Tcl/Tk-based applications on RHEL systems. Additional Information: The packages are available in Fedora (e.g., Fedora 32) as: - blt-2.4-57.z.fc32.x86_64.rpm - blt-devel-2.4-57.z.fc32.x86_64.rpm It would be helpful to have these in EPEL 8. Please consider enabling them or let us know what would be needed to support this request. Thank you!
Hi, Just following up on this request to see if there's any update or feedback needed from our side. We're currently maintaining local builds to support some internal Tcl/Tk-based tools, so having these in EPEL would help streamline long-term support. We’re happy to help with testing or contributing if that would move things forward. Thanks again for your time.
Hi, Any update on this request? If this isn’t planned to be worked on or doesn’t fit EPEL, please confirm so I can close the loop with the requester. If it should be reassigned, please advise. Thanks.
