Hi Bill,
Thanks so much for the update and for taking the time to clean things up and make them accessible.
I’ll look forward to the SRPMs whenever you’re ready to share them, but it is perfectly fine if you would prefer to just share what you already have. I really appreciate the effort you are putting into this.
Best regards, Maksim Hi-
That would be my fault... I've always been so focused on the rpms but
the srpm is an artifact I seem to forget to upload the SRPM.
I have a spec file that's never been checked into version control, as
well as some scripts that I've used to produce the RPMs available for
download... Part of the reason it's always languished on my build system
is that the spec file needs changing for various el releases, and
there's a separate dependency installation step required to get the
builds to work. I didn't want a proliferation of files in the pike
packaging directory. I will try to clean those up a bit and put them
somewhere publicly accessible.
Note: pike doesn't seem to build properly on el10, I suspect due to the
version of gcc in use. The fix is a one-liner, but a patch is necessary
until a new release is made.
Stand by for an update on this, probably in a day or two.
Best,
Bill
