FWIW, I have a locally-built RPM that works just fine on RHEL8.
I started from the Fedora 28 sources (which was more or less the
branch point for RHEL8).  The specfile didn't need any changes
according to my notes; the only problem was getting hold of the
build dependencies.  nmh wants w3m which wants perl-NKF which
you will not find in core RHEL8.  You can get it from the
codeready repo though.

I package nmh for Fedora.  It won't build for EPEL 7 and I haven't figured
out how to get it into EPEL 8 and 9 to try.  I might not have time for a
while.  If you want to take a look, that would be very helpful.

If you want to build an rpm yourself, this should work:

wget http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/nmh.git/plain/build_nmh
sh build_nmh -drv -b 1.7-release

and respond to the prompts.  The RPM will be put in the RPM/RPMS/
directory below the installation.

Packages for EL8 distros?

2022-10-06 Thread Tom Spettigue

Hey all -

I'm in the process of standing up a new Alma Linux 8.6 server for the 
company's forseeable future, and I was wondering if you had plans to 
distribute a new nmh package into EPEL for RHEL 8-based distros, or if I 
need to compile it myself for this particular build? Hoping for the 
former, obviously, but - the boss sure lves his MH email, and 
uses nmh to navigate it.

Plans for an RHEL 8 package?

2022-10-06 Thread Tom Spettigue

Hey all -

I'm working on a new Alma Linux 8.6 server for the company, and my boss 
sure does loove his MH mail, and uses NMH to manage it. I was 
wondering if there are any plans to compile NMH into a package in the 
EPEL repo for EL8, so we can install it via our package manager?
