Does anybody know if terabithia.org is still maintaining Fedora RPMs for xymon?? I exchanged emails with Japheth over half a year ago, but have not received any replies to more recent inquiries; RPMs for Fedora 31 are not working and for 32 are missing altogether; the latest changes in Testing are from early May.
Not working? Hmmn, news to me ...
-- root at vm-fed ~]# cat /etc/fedora-release Fedora release 31 (Thirty One)
[root at vm-fed ~]# rpm -q xymon-client xymon-client-local xymon-client-4.3.30-1.fc31.x86_64 xymon-client-local-4.3.30-1.fc31.x86_64
Oh yeah, now I remember - Japheth built some weird (unnecessary?) dependency upon "/bin/dash" into the Fedora 31 RPMs that I couldn't get to resolve, even though "/bin/dash" existed.
I kludged around it via this temporary hack (I'll take "working" over "efficiency" any day):
-- [root at vm-fed SPECS]# diff -rC 1 xymon.spec.rpmsave xymon.spec *** xymon.spec.rpmsave 2020-01-20 14:00:21.000000000 -0800 --- xymon.spec 2020-06-12 23:03:36.482862568 -0700
*** 56,58 **** --- 56,62 ---- %else
%global shell /bin/dash%if 0%{?fedora} < 30%else- %global shell /bin/sh
%endif%endif
and rebuilding the RPMs from the spec file.
(Hopefully this will drag him out of the woodwork to berate me for doing this.)
