Hello, Ilari and Calvin, I was impressed by your presentation in June 2021 on iRODS UGM, and I would like to evaluate Kanki GUI client for the following platforms : Mac OS, Windows, Linux (CentOS 7, 8 ); Currently I tried to install the rpm provided, unfortunately hit some dependency errors (below) so I had to use --skip-broken

--> Finished Dependency Resolution Error: Package: kanki-irodsclient-1.0.7-1.el6.x86_64 (/kanki-irodsclient-1.0.7-1.el6.x86_64) Requires: libirods_client_api.so.1()(64bit) Error: Package: kanki-irodsclient-1.0.7-1.el6.x86_64 (/kanki-irodsclient-1.0.7-1.el6.x86_64) Requires: libirods_client.so.1()(64bit) You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest [root@ip-172-25-66-249 ~]# yum -y install https://github.com/ilarik/kanki-irodsclient/releases/download/1.0.7/kanki-irodsclient-1.0.7-1.el6.x86_64.rpm --skip-broken

But this resulted in the skipping these Skipped (dependency problems): kanki-irodsclient.x86_64 0:1.0.7-1.el6
qt5-qtbase-gui.x86_64 0:5.9.7-5.el7_9
qt5-qtsvg.x86_64 0:5.9.7-1.el7
qt5-qtx11extras.x86_64 0:5.9.7-1.el7

Is there an update for Centos rpm ? Should I try to build from source ? what's the expectation for Windows packaging ( I remember Terrell expressed that iRODS would provide help with packaging of your code )

Hi,

I, too, am interested in evaluating and deploying kanki. As I am working as a CompScientist for a HPC cluster, I am mainly interested in the Linux-Client (both for Alma and Debian), but our site (by means of colleagues in university) also entertains applications for university Windows clients.

There has been recent development in non-master branches. Are you guys planning a release any time soon?

Best, Christian
