Fedora 26 up to rawhide build

Post by wyvie »

Hello guys! I like mudlet a lot, and was having troubles without mudlet on my new shiny fedora.
Since I couldn't find any mudlet build for fedora, I had to create my own on the copr (fedora user repos).
Information could be found here: https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/wyvie/mudlet/

To install mudlet, execute these commands from your terminal:

Code: Select all

sudo dnf -y copr enable wyvie/mudlet
sudo dnf install mudlet
Lua libraries are now located in the same repository and are installed as dependencies when installing mudlet.

Thanks for this!

What are you refering by the Lua scripts on that page?

Sorry. Of course I meant lua libraries (luasql, reg_pcre etc). Will fix this later today.

I have two news. Fist one is that I bumped package in repo to kappa version (also up to fedora 26).
Second, and most important is that I've found my inner strength and also packaged the lua libraries which mudlet usually wants to load on connection to server.
Their installation instructions (in case anyone's interested) are available on the repo page.

Appreciated!

Any idea what'll take to get Mudlet into Fedora repos now?

It's not very difficult, only time consuming, because fedora guys are usually very busy and usually have very few time to inspect new packages.
The question is whether it's necessary. Fedora copr is kinda like ubuntu ppa. And I doubt it will be easy to push necessary lua libraries into the official fedora repos, because some of them also rely on luarocks, which has to rely on old lua, it's a mess :(
