#19 RPM?

[Todd]

Is there a Fedora friendly rpm of the latest version somewhere?

[Tim Woodall]

I managed to build this in a fedora 40 chroot on a debian host fairly trivially so I think it should be straight forwards to do it for a newer version (for reasons I don't understand, trying to build a package on fedora 42 using the method below to create a chroot on debian failed with a missing /sbin/ldconfig and I'm not prepared to spend time debugging it but I assume when run on a RPM system it would "just work)

I think the following will allow you to build an up to date rpm

dnf install rpmdevtools
dnf install yum-utils
rpmdev-setuptree
cd ~/rpmbuild
# from whereever you downloaded this from
# cp /tmp/dump-0.4-0.59.b52.fc40.src.rpm .
yum-builddep dump-0.4-0.59.b52.fc40.src.rpm
rpm2cpio dump-0.4-0.59.b52.fc40.src.rpm | cpio -idmv
mv dump-0.4b52.tar.gz SOURCES/
rpmbuild -ba dump.spec

--- I did the following to get to the point where I could build the SRPM as above ---

(There are all sorts of warnings about /proc not being mounted as rinse doesn't seem unshare friendly but they don't seem to matter for this process)

downstream just announced that he will be posting b52 in the repos shortly

[Tim Woodall]

That's good to hear.
The spec file I used can be extracted using the attached src.rpm
rpm2cpio dump-0.4-0.59.b52.fc40.src.rpm | cpio -idmv

It's the spec file for the existing version with all the patches removed.
