Package for Fedora / RHEL / CentOS

[agoode]

I am working on this.

Currently I first need to package launchpad.net/go-xdg/v0 and github.com/codegangsta/cli.

[agoode]

github.com/codegangsta/cli is already packaged.

FYI the xdg package already exists in Debian, but it has a non-standard name. Don't know why.

package review for golang-launchpad-go-xdg-v0: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1279660

I filed an issue against firewalld to better support the privet use case:
https://github.com/t-woerner/firewalld/issues/55

Right now the only way to support privet with firewalld is to open all the ephemeral ports. For Fedora Workstation it doesn't matter, since the default firewalld config does this. But this is not the default on Fedora Server nor CentOS.

[jacobmarble]

I'm not familiar with firewalld, but if it helps, we could limit the port range with a config value. The libraries don't make this simple, but I don't think it would be hard to implement.

The last dependency for Fedora is packaged:
https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/package/golang-launchpad-go-xdg-v0/

It will be appearing in f22, f23, rawhide, and el7.

There may be more el7 dependencies to work through.
I have not looked at el6 yet at all.

[agoode]

el6 looks similar dependency-wise. I will package xdg for el6 as well.

el6 will be a little more work from the others mostly because of logging and systemd, but should be doable.

[agoode]

el6 should be fine. "go get" works just fine (except for https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1253897). I think all dependencies are packaged.

[agoode]

This is a little tricky still since the policies for RHEL7 are not well documented. Fedora and RHEL6 should be fine.

[agoode]

I've not made any progress here since Fedora hasn't yet figured out a complete (non-draft) packaging story for Go.
https://fedorahosted.org/fpc/ticket/382

Until things are figured out, this should be installable quite easily with the normal go get tool except for the bug mentioned above.

[jacobmarble]

Roger, thanks for the update.

[agoode]

Just some notes for me here:

• Should set Restart=on-failure in the service file
• Need to add d /run/cups-connector 0755 gcp gcp - to /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/cups-connector.conf (/tmp is not the right place for sockets, they don't get cleaned up there)
• Definitely need "log_to_journal": true and "monitor_socket_filename": "/run/cups-connector/cups-connector-monitor.sock" in the default config file or the command line

Blocking on #266.

[agoode]

Things are still moving (slowly) in Fedora land.

I am not working on this right now but if #266 is resolved I could revisit this.

[mintslice]

@agoode there's a bunch of golang packages in fedora 25 now.

$ sudo dnf search golang | wc
1314 6286 85562

Is it possible that that packaging issues have been resolved. I would be great to see yum support for this.

[agoode]

This is still blocked on #266.

[iranzo]

Any progress on getting this package released?

[agoode]

No, I'm not working on this right now.
