<br>
That would be my fault... I've always been so focused on the rpms but <br>
the srpm is an artifact I seem to forget to upload the SRPM.<br>
<br>
I have a spec file that's never been checked into version control, as <br>
well as some scripts that I've used to produce the RPMs available for <br>
download... Part of the reason it's always languished on my build system <br=
>
is that the spec file needs changing for various el releases, and <br>
there's a separate dependency installation step required to get the <br>
builds to work. I didn't want a proliferation of files in the pike <br>
packaging directory. I will try to clean those up a bit and put them <br>
somewhere publicly accessible.<br>
<br>
Note: pike doesn't seem to build properly on el10, I suspect due to the <br>=

version of gcc in use. The fix is a one-liner, but a patch is necessary <br>=

until a new release is made.<br>
<br>
Stand by for an update on this, probably in a day or two.<br>
<br>
Best,<br>
<br>

&gt; While looking through the EL8 packages at:<br>

&gt; <br>
&gt; I noticed that the repository provides the binary RPMs but not the<br>
&gt; corresponding source RPMs. Is there a particular reason the SRPMs<br>
&gt; aren=E2=80=99t published for this build?<br>
&gt; <br>
&gt; If the SRPMs are available elsewhere, I=E2=80=99d appreciate a pointer.=
<br>
&gt; I=E2=80=99m also interested in building more recent Pike versions for n=
ewer<br>
&gt; RHEL derivatives and potentially Fedora, so if there are newer RPMs<br>=

&gt; (with matching source packages) available, please let me know where<br>=

&gt; they can be found.<br>
&gt; <br>
&gt; Thanks in advance for any guidance.<br>
