EL8 (RHEL8/CentOS8) builds fail for riot-1.6.0

Open taw00 opened this issue 4 years ago • 0 comments

  • EL8 has no sqlcipher packaging option.
  • EL8's version of rustc apparently has issues building Riot (I will list them in additional comments).

It is unclear whether I will be solving these problems. There does exist a Flatpak however:
https://flathub.org/apps/details/im.riot.Riot

Flatpaks are generally a last resort solution (the binaries are often non-native), but this is a desktop application where bulletproof reliability is not as critical. Consider using that instead. I may be recommending the Flatpak to all those older platforms in the future. We'll see. The listed problems are significant hurdles.
