[Package Request] - rpmrebuild (RPM Rebuild) #548

Open bentotten opened 10 months ago

bentotten commented 10 months ago

What package is missing from Amazon Linux 2023? Please describe and include package name. rpmrebuild

Is this an update to existing package or new package request? New package request

Is this package available in Amazon Linux 2? If it is available via external sources such as EPEL, please specify. No

Any additional information you'd like to include. (use-cases, etc) This package documentation indicates it can rebuild rpm files without needing the rpm spec file. This is important because several existing rpm files no longer have their specs, but have outdated dependencies and are now uninstallable. For example, an rpm that uses gcc-72 - which is no longer available and needs to have dependencies updated - cannot be installed. Without rebuilding the spec file, this rpm must be made from scratch.

Open to other package ideas that have this functionality, if they already exist.

I just ran into this as well and found this issue from google. Until this package gets included, a viable workaround (assuming you want the latest rpmrebuild) can be to download the latest noarch rpm from their sourceforge repo:

curl -Lo /tmp/rpmrebuild.noarch.rpm https://sourceforge.net/projects/rpmrebuild/files/latest/download
sudo dnf install -y /tmp/rpmrebuild.noarch.rpm
