Could somebody please tell me how I can install the current
version of nmh on RedHat 6.1? Is there on rpm somewhere?
What I usually do is try to find the .spec file from Fedora
and build an rpm using that.
I do something similar.
The Fedora files are here:
http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/gitweb/?p=nmh.git;a=tree
I don't really know what I'm doing with this stuff but after
putting the .spec file in ~/rpmbuild/SPECS and the patch file
and original sources in ~/rpmbuild/SOURCES and then running
rpmbuild -bb nmh.spec, it built a .rpm. You may need to read a
few man pages to get this working and it is always wise to
read the spec file and the output from the build.
If you prefer, I can send you the rpm built on my system
(assuming x86_64 is the right architecture).
Yes, that would be very nice.
The drawback of it not being in a repository is that we all have
to notice and rebuild the rpm whenever there is a bug
fix/dependency change.
Would you.
I wonder how many of us are using nmh on RHEL 6? There is a
buzilla entry for it here:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=475479 but it was
closed WONTFIX owing to no-one being willing to be the
maintainer for the rpm on EPEL. For various reasons I cannot
realistically commit to doing that, so we would need a
volunteer. An alternative would be to set up a repository
specifically for an nmh rpm (thus avoiding the administrative
complications of interacting with EPEL), which wouldn’t be
difficult except that it would have to be somewhere…
