Hi all.
Last week I read that Nux des not have time to build Nux-Dextop repo for CentOS 8.
Is there anyone with time to prepare and recompile apps/packages that will be missing from other repositories?
Earlier I've joined Fedora Project to add some Fedora packages to EPEL but have stop there confused how to procede, it need investigating what I am allowed to do and how.
Other option I considered is to add el8 to my old repository I created, but considering hardly enyone used it, that will not solve general public. When I get time and stabe internet (once again) I might replicate Nux-Dextop packages for EL7 to EL8 so I have them for my own laptop.
So are there any other options?
I guess it depends on what you need ? Epel still has some pkgs that will (slowly) land I guess, and for everything that can't enter Epel (like codecs, etc), rpmfusion has probably already it (or in -testing)
For the rest, I did myself what some people are doing those days : building/testing through copr : I had to create one as I quickly need some pkgs on my centos 8 laptop (see https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/arrfab/not-in-epel8/packages/ , but warning : "here are dragons" :-) )
