(In reply to Andrew Bauer from comment #0) > Our friends from RedHat decided to remove libssh2 with the release of el 8.1: libssh2 has never been a supported library in RHEL-8. It was an internal dependency of the virt module only. > Would the package maintainer please build libssh2 for EPEL 8 asap? It makes sense to me. Let's see what Paul thinks as the primary maintainer of libssh2 in Fedora. The dropping of libssh2 from RHEL 8.1 is actually a good thing because in RHEL 8.0 it was available in AppStream but without a devel package so it was (a) not buildable for EPEL and (b) not usable to build against. I've no objection to building libssh2 for EPEL-8 but I can't do it at the moment because the database in Fedora Infrastructure (https://infrastructure.fedoraproject.org/repo/json/pkg_el8.json) believes there's a modular libssh2 in AppStream and CRB, and fedpkg checks against this before requesting a branch. Hence it currently refuses to branch for epel8. I have raised an infrastructure ticket about this: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/issue/8558 FEDORA-EPEL-2020-3681ce7474 has been submitted as an update to Fedora EPEL 8. https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-EPEL-2020-3681ce7474 FEDORA-EPEL-2020-3681ce7474 has been pushed to the Fedora EPEL 8 testing repository. You can provide feedback for this update here: https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-EPEL-2020-3681ce7474 See also https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Updates_Testing for more information on how to test updates. FEDORA-EPEL-2020-3681ce7474 has been pushed to the Fedora EPEL 8 stable repository. If problem still persists, please make note of it in this bug report. |
