The next release of Molsketch is going to build against Open Babel
3.x, so I started working on updating the openbabel package around the
time version 3.1.1 came out, which supposedly fixed some issues
related to packaging on linux. Based on your spec file, I was trying
to see which patches were obsolete, what else might be required to get
it to build with as many features as possible and then test the
"abandonware" that depends on it. Unfortunately (fortunately?), the
local lockdown was lifted and I was among the people authorized back
in the lab and I got swamped with work, so I didn't get very far. I
got the base stuff building at some point, but I had trouble with some
runtime dependencies. In the meantime, there's been the CMake change
and I don't know if what I got building still does.
We will likely also need an openbabel2 compatibility package then, because I
doubt that everything will build against OpenBabel 3 without non-trivial
porting.
