Hello all,
BIRD 2.0.4 (with RPKI support) is available in EPEL 7 and 8 (for RHEL/ CentOS 7 and 8). And there is also a package in EPEL 6, but without RPKI due to too old libssh version in RHEL/CentOS 6.
- RHEL/CentOS 7: yum install --enablerepo=epel-testing bird2 - RHEL 8: https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=1319598
This is great, thanks!
Please note that the packaging is slightly different related to upstream's RPM packages (e.g. BIRD drops root privileges and its configuration files and directories are not world readable; /run/bird/bird.ctl socket rather /var/run/bird.ctl), but it also covers more architectures (x86_64, aarch64, ppc64le; and EL8 even s390x).
Should we try to consolidate those differences? I'm the co-maintainer of the Fedora package :) -Toke
