BIRD 2.0.4 (with RPKI support) in EPEL 7/8 (for RHEL/CentOS 7/8)
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 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). The BIRD package for EPEL 8 is likely to enter the regular repository once there is one, currently the best for RHEL 8 is to grab the build directly from the buildsystem (or the koji buildsystem repo). Regards, Robert

This is great, thanks!

Should we try to consolidate those differences? I'm the co-maintainer of the Fedora package :) -Toke

Not sure if I created a misunderstanding here, but to consolidate those differences, upstream's RPM packages would need to inherit our Fedora/EPEL bird.spec file to match the Fedora Packaging Guidelines ;-) Regards, Robert

Ah, doh! You mean "bird upstream" not "Fedora as upstream of EPEL". Did think it was a bit odd that those weren't aligned. Sorry for the confusion! -Toke
It is good news for real Thanks, Isaac 「Robert Scheck <bird@robert-scheck.de>」在 2019年7月24日 週三，下午9:40 寫道：
