Hi!
Ideally, we would have official packages for all distros, listed at [https://github.com/syncthing/syncthing/wiki/Community-Contributions](https://github.com/syncthing/syncthing/wiki/Community-Contributions) and all interested would converge to make these as great as possible.
Here is a review request: [https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show\_bug.cgi?id=1164378](https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1164378)
Feedback & testing much appreciated.
Thanks!

I look at the latest spec file, and it looks sane enough to me (although I don’t run RedHat and it’s the first time I’ve looked at a spec file). However I wouldn’t bundle the `stindex` and `stevents` binaries, they are not something a general user would use I think. Well, maybe `stevents` but surely not `stindex`.

Thanks Jakob!
Could / should we be collaborating on files such as this somewhere like [https://github.com/syncthing/xyz](https://github.com/syncthing/xyz)
If so, what is best place?
Thanks!

One more repo:
Designed for CentOS 6 or 7 / ClearOS 6 or 7. Will likely work on Fedora
1- Follow instructions here: [https://okay.com.mx/en/linux/rpm-repositories-for-centos-6-and-7.html](https://okay.com.mx/en/linux/rpm-repositories-for-centos-6-and-7.html) 2- yum install syncthing

According to RedHat (Fedora, CENTOS, …) guidelines, the SRPM must build everything from source.

Hello all,
If this doens’t sound too late for this thread I’ve created a .spec from the source tarball for version 0.14.23 You can get it on [github](https://github.com/daftaupe/syncthing-rpms.git)
I adapted from mlazarov (listed in the public contributions) and the bugzilla report from this topic. Any review appreciated, I know there’s still some work to be done to comply to Fedora .spec requirements.

I assume you mean some other version as there is no 0.18.1. Otherwise carry on, I guess. 🙂

Oh, my bad I was looking at some other piece of software at the same time and mixed the version numbers, I will edit 🙂
Thanks @calmh
