... and would not include any of the bug-fixes and improvements created
for the Extras/EPEL build servers. In Fedora, Plague is unmaintained. Some
tickets in bugzilla got lost during the mass-bug-triaging. So, that's not
a good starting-point for EPEL packages IMO.
It would be better to base off an EPEL package of my rpms or the
unofficial 0.4.5 [1] branch in cvs if you don't want so many separate
patches. The files and rpms can still be found at:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Mschwendt
[1] Note that in 0.4.5 I moved the builder_work default dir from /srv/...
to /var/lib/... in accordance with the Fedora guidelines. Old Fedora packages
used a non-working default in /tmp/builder_work.
Thanks Michael. Good info. I built using your 0.4.5 RPM's on my EL5
machine without issue. A couple questions:
- I'd be happy to create an EL-5 branch based on your RPM's, that
would seem to make the most sense. But do you have any interest in
being the maintainer as you appear to be "upstream" in a way for
the 0.4.5 branch
- Where is this 0.4.5 CVS branch you mention?
- Off-topic for EPEL, but it seems like maybe we should update this
in Fedora 8 and 9 as well. I use those systems for building to
EPEL as well and the plague stuff in Fedora is still the Fedora 7
package.
Thanks again,
Ray
