Lack of Support for RHEL-Compatible Distributions

There are any plans to support Nimble Streamer on RHEL-compatible distributions, such as Rocky Linux 9 and Alma Linux 9? Not everyone is using Debian-based distributions. Thank you.

+1.
Also looking forward to answer.

Hello Marius,

Did you try to install Nimble package for CentOS 7 on Rocky Linux or Alma Linux, were there any errors?

Thank you.

No joy! See bellow:

$ sudo yum install nimble

Error:
Problem: cannot install the best candidate for the job
- nothing provides libzip.so.2()(64bit) needed by nimble-4.0.0-5.el7.x86_64
(try to add '--skip-broken' to skip uninstallable packages or '--nobest' to use not only best candidate packages)

What is the version of openssl library you have installed on the server? Please check it using "rpm -qi openssl" command.

It should be possible to fix libzip dependency installing libzip package for CentOS 7, but if openssl 3 is used on Rocky Linux it won't be able to install Nimbe for CentOS and currently the only option is using docker or VM.

$ rpm -qi openssl
