Can you check out if this works for you?

Unfortunately I have no enterprise machines around (at least none with graphical user interface) to test that myself. If it works I'd push it as an update.

Happy to. What is the best way to install this test release without damaging current install of geany? Also, could you compile the plugins so I can test them? There is a markdown plugin that has been missing for a few releases that I am in need of.

Thank you.

Got it installed and running in docker with CentOS 7 as the host system, seems to work fine. Suggest it be released.

Also, could you compile the geany-plugins?

Thank you.

*** Bug 1690201 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

Any update on this? Would be great if this could be released.

Geany and Geany Plugins 1.35 have been released. Can the EPEL releases be updated to this latest version? It also seems 1.34 was never put into EPEL after I tested it?

Thank you.

I understand that Geany is now at version 1.36. Would it be possible to have EPEL updated with respect to Geany and Geany plugins?

Sorry for being a bit unresponsive in the past. I've just succesfully built Geany and Geany-Plugins for EPEL8, it will be pushed to testing soon: https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-EPEL-2020-5392d2e45e
Do you still have need for builds on EPEL7?

Yes, please, that would be great. I have not been able to move it to the top of my list of things to do so your assistance would be greatly appreciated. The current version seems to be 1.36 - is that the version you built? Are you able to build all plugins, including the markdown one?

Yep, 1.36 is built for EPEL8 and available via updates-testing repositories in EPEL8. I just fixed another issue with installing geanygendoc (see #1754361) so you may wait another day before installing it.

Actually the plugins are only available on architectures x86_64 and ppc64le because there are some outstanding issues building the markdown plugin for aarch64 and s390x. But this is kind of specific and should not be an issue for you if you don't use the aarch64 and s390x architectures.

It will be a bit more effort for building stuff for EPEL7 as well, so this probably takes some time until I get finished everything for EPEL7. I will let you know right here in this place when there is news about it. (:

FEDORA-EPEL-2020-3a85ca9e73 has been submitted as an update to Fedora EPEL 7. https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-EPEL-2020-3a85ca9e73

So finally I've made it to successfully build the Geany-Plugins, now we have an update: https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-EPEL-2020-3a85ca9e73
This of course will land in the epel-testing repositories first, you will be able to update this with a command similar to this:

yum -y update geany* --enablerepo=epel-testing


If everything works fine for you I appreciate any feedback and Karma on the link above.

Hm, just tried yum -y update geany* --enablerepo=epel-testing above but it said "no packages marked for update"?

FEDORA-EPEL-2020-3a85ca9e73 has been pushed to the Fedora EPEL 7 testing repository.

You can provide feedback for this update here: https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-EPEL-2020-3a85ca9e73

See also https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Updates_Testing for more information on how to test updates.

Now I was able to download and install but I miss the markdown plugin. Can that be updated as well? It is a critical plugin for me.

Also, would you be willing to publish your complete update instructions? I am a novice at compiling software for my own use but would like to try compiling geany.

Thank you!

As far as I can see the markdown plugin has been built as well: https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=1489882
It must be installable, probably you will have to add geany-plugins as well to the yum command:

yum -y update geany-* geany-plugins-* --enablerepo=epel-testing


Basically sources for RPM packages in Fedora are always available to everyone (this is an open source project, isn't it?):

* https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/geany
* https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/geany-plugins


There is no specific update instructions I have, additionally to these RPM sources, though. This was rather trial & error until it works.

Ah, it was because it had not been installed with the previous update - I think it was not available at that time. I ran yum install ... and it, and three other geany plugins, were installed.

However, I see to my disappointment it still does not handle markdown tables...

I'm not into the details of each plugin, unfortunately. If you have any plugin-specific concerns probably the upstream project is the better place to ask questions, or for features and bugs. You will find contact and support possibilities like mailing lists, bug trackers and chat on https://geany.org/ at the support menu at the top of the page. Information for the markdown plugin in general can also be found here: https://plugins.geany.org/markdown.html.

geany-1.36-2.el7, geany-plugins-1.36-1.el7 has been pushed to the Fedora EPEL 7 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report.
