Self Introduction: Ilyas B Arinov

[Ilyas Arinov]

My name is Ilyas, I am 33 years old.
RHCSA

I am interested in Python development and stable distribution.
I was involved in Russian translation group several years ago and worked in
Zanata.
I am on RHEL8 now and there is no my favorite IRC client in default
repositories - weechat.
So when I install EPEL I found is was not there too.

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1753203 was created to ask
build new package for EL8.

I had some time to build weechat 2.6 on my RHEL 8. And as I need it in
several other laptops and desktops I have, I decided to make temporary RPM
package before maintainers do.

I was join #epel to ask about details and procedures. According several
Fedora Project Packaging links I've got the spec file from EL7 and adapt it
from 2.2-2 to 2.6 weechat version. Make some other changes and create my
own temporary package. I tested it in my localhost installation. Works fine
for me.

So I came here to share my spec file which may be interesting for weechat
maintainers to review.

I hope this letter will decrease the waiting time I can access EL8 package.

Thanks.
