Spec File No Longer Available

[mwestphall]

Hi all,

We're trying to build a new release of oidc-agent for the next OSG release series. It looks like the spec file is no longer available as of this merge: https://github.com/indigo-dc/oidc-agent/commit/bac858b5764f872b648ced011ea7c3c72d5780a2 . Is the removal of the spec file intended? If so, would you be able to provide us with guidance for how to obtain SRPMs for more recent releases of oidc-agent?

Thanks, Matt

We moved all packaging files from the main branches to the packaging/* branches[1], which we don't maintain on github.

Please also note that we've recently been successful in getting our package into fedora[2]. Of course, building from prerel will give you the latest (almost-totally-stable(TM)) version.

Hi @marcvs , do you have any plans on getting oidc-agent into EPEL? Our users work with some form of Enterprise Linux based OS so the Fedora package won't quite work

[marcvs]

Plans: yes. I underestimated the effort of getting packages in linux distributions (and keeping them up-to-date), though. Also: I'm not super familiar with the RPM-based distro universe. I was hoping that EPEL and fedora are quite closely related.

If there is any experience in getting packages to EPEL, help would be greatly appreciated.

Actually EPEL and fedora are closely related. According to https://repology.org/project/oidc-agent/packages at least 4.5.2 is available in EPEL.

For oidc-agent-cli see also: https://packages.fedoraproject.org/pkgs/oidc-agent/oidc-agent-cli/

Ah perfect, I had missed that. Thanks, much appreciated!

We were able to rebuild oidc-agent for OSG with the EPEL srpm and spec file from the packaging repo. Thanks!
