ZoneMinder 1.34.26 RPMs for EL7?

[jonthewise]

Looks like RPMFusion doesn't have the RPMs for EL7 anymore... does anybody by chance know where I can find them? 1.36 is not usable in it's current state and my dumb ass didn't snapshot my VM before updating.

I've been trying to build some but I got stuck when spectool tried to access https://github.com/ZoneMinder/crud/arch ... -zm.tar.gz which returns a 404, and for which I can't find an alternative URL.

My last attempt at running cmake, after installing various -devel packages that previous runs complained about, said this:

I did manage to build RPMs for 1.32.2 a couple of years ago (still got those if you want them), but it was the first and only time I've done it so I've forgotten a lot and I don't know how (or even if I needed to) get around these issues last time.

[jonthewise]

Yeah, I may have to figure out how to build too, but I was having similar issues; I keep kicking myself - I mirror the CentOS/EPEL/RPMFusion repos locally so that I don't have to download updates for each system (overkill for a tiny home lab, but I thought it was neat when I set it up), but I unknowingly had the rsync command deleting old versions when they are no longer on the repo (done fixed that - I will manually run cleanups when my repo disk starts to fill up)

So, I guess it's either build myself some RPMs, build a fedora system since the .34 release is still out there, or hope that .36 gets through it's growing pains and becomes usable again.

These steps work for me:

Code: Select all

sudo yum install mock-rpmfusion-free
wget -c https://gist.githubusercontent.com/knight-of-ni/d9dc11f7b5d2536236f4d62401e9a53b/raw/87d27cb99df7be0d1c661d39c1b258515eee82ad/gistfile1.txt -O zoneminder.spec
spectool -g -R zoneminder.spec
rpmbuild -bs --nodeps zoneminder.spec
mock -r epel-7-x86_64-rpmfusion_free {full path to the srpm built from the previous step}

NOTES:
The build machine must be setup properly to build rpms:
https://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/SetupRpmBuildEnvironment

RPMFusion repo must be installed

Your user account should be part of the mock group

Outstanding. Thank you very much.

I already had the tools and environment setup from last time around so I updated those, and everything went smoothly with the new spec file.

The only difference is that I have mock-rpmfusion-free here rather than mock-rpmfusion (typo maybe?)


e2a for completeness: CentOS 7.9.2009 as the build host

[knight-of-ni]

yes, that was typo. I fixed it. Thanks.
