[Package Request] - figlet

Open bgsherman opened this issue 9 months ago • 2 comments

What package is missing from Amazon Linux 2023? Please describe and include package name.

figlet is missing -- we use this for system banners and script/console/log messages

Is this an update to existing package or new package request? New for AL2023 -- available in AL1 and AL2

Is this package available in Amazon Linux 2? If it is available via external sources such as EPEL, please specify. It was a base package in Al1, and I believe we got it from EPEL in AL2

Any additional information you'd like to include. (use-cases, etc)

we use this for system banners and script/console/log messages

Did it manual as a workaround.

# figlet - https://packages.fedoraproject.org/pkgs/figlet/figlet/
# Used Fedora 40 - Get link for rpm from the "View build" page
rpm="https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org//packages/figlet/2.2.5/28.20151018gita565ae1.fc40/x86_64/figlet-2.2.5-28.20151018gita565ae1.fc40.x86_64.rpm"
sudo dnf install $rpm
