Pound in EPEL 8

[Breno Brand Fernandes]

Hi all,

It seems that the package was retired on 2019-02-11[1].

I filed a bug[2] asking if it would be possible to build it using
the patrodyne fork[3].
This fork contains patches in order to make Pound support OpenSSL v1.1.0
and WebSocket correctly.

As so far I didn't receive any answer, I decided to send this message.

I forked the package in src.fedoraproject.org, updated the spec file[4] and
created a copr[5] mirror. I also built it against EPEL 8 playground[6].

I performed some tests and it all seems to be working well.

Do you think we could have this or any other build of this fork of Pound in
EPEL 8?

I am in the packager group, and I'd be happy to help to maintain this
package.
Any other input anyone may have is very welcome.

Thanks.

I think you need to follow the general un-retirement procedure:

PS: Thanks for working on pound. I used it in the past and found it pretty useful.

If someone could help Breno work on this I would greatly greatly
appreciate it. Breno has been working with me on getting various
things back into EPEL, but my time for EPEL is back to nil and null.
This means i have been letting them down and I would really appreciate
if someone could help them through what exactly claiming ownership and
other actions are.

Thank you.
