Need RPM for Linux

[Senthilkumar.M]

Hi Nicholas Team,

First of all, very big thank you for great improvement on TMUX, appreciate your effort. if you are enabling the option to download RPM for RedhatLinux for stable version, it will helpful and also Redhat Linux still they are maintaining 1.8 version in their repo, not sure why there are not updating latest version at least nearest stable version or i'm not aware how Redhat will use third party tool policy,but by default they are maintaining tmux 1.8 old version. 

yes, we can clone from github and recompile, but due to dependencies  getting errors, however i fixed with instruction, my suggestion RPM useful. thank you

Thanks & Regards,
Senthilkumar.M

Hi

I don't have time or interest in making RPMs unfortunately.

[Scott Rochford]

This would be useful for me too, and since I've always wanted to contribute to this project (which has been so useful to me) in some way - and only being an occasional programmer -  I'd be happy to package and maintain a repo for RHEL/CentOS 6/7/8.

I'll let you know when I have something ready for consumption, and give you a chance to review Nicholas prior to publishing.

Regards,

Scott

Sure. That would be great.

There are 3rd party repos offering .rpm files, eg. GhettoForge or
EndPoint, albeit not very recent ones:

https://centos.pkgs.org/7/ghettoforge-plus-x86_64/tmux-2.4-2.gf.el7.x86_64.rpm.html
https://centos.pkgs.org/7/endpoint-x86_64/tmux-2.9a-3.ep7.x86_64.rpm.html

In this case I would ask the maintainers about the license of their
.SPEC file, if any:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-maintainers/2007-August/msg00476.html

If it's compatible with the ISC license, I would just import it ant
start using it as a starting point.

At least regarding EndPoint and judging by their older blog post,
their seem to care about licensing in general:
https://www.endpoint.com/blog/2011/08/02/debian-postgres-readline-psql-problem

So it might be worth getting in touch with EndPoint.

Thanks Danh, licence corrected and package updated to release 2.

[Nicholas Marriott]

Hi

Do you have instructions, maybe you want to write a section to go at the
end of https://github.com/tmux/tmux/wiki/Installing ?

Thanks

I don't have an 'Edit' button for the wiki page - am I missing something?

I expect anyone who actually came looking for the RPMs should already know how to install them, but I've added some examples of installation to https://anni.galaxy4.net/?page_id=39.  (I also changed the wordpress theme to something simpler since the existing one didn't handle wide preformatted text well).

If that's sufficient you could just link to that as per the existing "AppImage package" section of the wiki page.  Or I'm happy to add a summarised version (without output clutter) if I can figure out how to edit... ;-)  Let me know what you prefer.

Regards,

Scott

[Nicholas Marriott]

If you send me the text I will add it, I don't mind if it is a brief description+link or if you want to give more instructions (although I would just give the commands not all the output like you have on your page).

Thanks

[Scott Rochford]

Something like:

"

Red Hat Enterprise Linux / CentOS RPMs

tmux packages are already available from the main repositories for most operating systems, however they are often quite out of date, especially for long-term support enterprise class distributions.  The latest stable RPMs for RHEL/CentOS 6 through 8 can be obtained from http://galaxy4.net/repo/.

To set up a repository and install from there (this example uses RHEL8):

    sudo wget -P /etc/yum.repos.d/ http://galaxy4.net/repo/galaxy4-rhel8.repo

    sudo yum install tmux

Or to install an RPM directly from there (example using RHEL6):

    sudo rpm -ivh http://galaxy4.net/repo/RHEL/6/x86_64/tmux-3.1b-2.el6.x86_64.rpm

The repository method is recommended to automatically receive future package updates.  See https://anni.galaxy4.net/?page_id=39 for examples and more details.

"

Regards,

Scott

Brilliant thanks, I have added this with some minor tweaks and also
pointed to the section from the start of the same page.
