Hello Dominik and everyone else, The next release of Molsketch is going to build against Open Babel 3.x, so I started working on updating the openbabel package around the time version 3.1.1 came out, which supposedly fixed some issues related to packaging on linux. Based on your spec file, I was trying to see which patches were obsolete, what else might be required to get it to build with as many features as possible and then test the "abandonware" that depends on it. Unfortunately (fortunately?), the local lockdown was lifted and I was among the people authorized back in the lab and I got swamped with work, so I didn't get very far. I got the base stuff building at some point, but I had trouble with some runtime dependencies. In the meantime, there's been the CMake change and I don't know if what I got building still does. I am currently on vacation until the last week of August and away from my systems, so I can't test things, or comment on the issues I encountered. That being said, I think that of the packagers involved, I am the least qualified to take up openbabel and I haven't touched RHEL or CentOS in years, so I have no idea what's going on there and what's required to maintain the EPEL branches. I'd be happy to co-maintain the Fedora ones and help out as much as I can. Given the time of the year in the Northern Hemisphere, do you think you could hold on to the package a little longer (e.g. until the beginning of September), so that people who are interested might get the chance to get our act together? Thank you for everything you've done so far, A. _______________________________________________ scitech mailing list -- scitech@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to scitech-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/scitech@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
