Does anybody know if terabithia.org is still maintaining Fedora RPMs for
xymon?? I exchanged emails with Japheth over half a year ago, but have
not received any replies to more recent inquiries; RPMs for Fedora 31
are not working and for 32 are missing altogether; the latest changes in
Testing are from early May.
Not working? Hmmn, news to me ...

Oh yeah, now I remember - Japheth built some weird (unnecessary?) dependency upon "/bin/dash" into the Fedora 31 RPMs that I couldn't get to resolve, even though "/bin/dash" existed.
I kludged around it via this temporary hack (I'll take "working" over "efficiency" any day):

and rebuilding the RPMs from the spec file.
(Hopefully this will drag him out of the woodwork to berate me for doing this.)
