Re: Centos7 installing GNU3.8 via pybombs issue

[Alex Humberstone]

Dear James,

CentOS 7 is really really old. I would say that you should ask your customer or project leader to allow you to at least use CentOS 8. You're just going to have a whole set of challenges and difficulties using CentOS 7. Why create more unnecessary work for yourself?

Sincerely,

Hi James,

our software is called "GNU Radio", not just "GNU" :)

Anyway, the relevant python-click-plugins.lwr is most definitely not
empty, otherwise your Pybombs wouldn't be calling `yum info
python3-click-plugins` (it only knows to do that because of that recipe
file).

Can you run `yum info python3-click-plugins` manually and check what it
says? (generally, we're happier about copy&pasted text from a console
than about a screenshot)

Best regards,
Marcus
