Usb_modeswitch rpm by Rocky 10?

Rocky Linux Help & Support

Any body know , where from i can download usb_modeswitch rpm by Rocky 10 ?

2

There’s a request to provide usb_modeswitch for EPEL:

But no one seems to be working on it.

3

The request for a Rocky Linux 10 usb_modeswitch package makes sense, especially with the EPEL tracking issue linked above. It would be useful to know whether the current EPEL10 build is blocked on a maintainer or just waiting for testing. In the meantime, are you looking for a package for a specific USB device or a general installation source?

I’ve just downloaded the Fedora Source rpms from here: Fedora Source rpms

Then we build with mock:

mock -r rocky+epel-10-x86_64 --installdeps usb_modeswitch-2.6.2-4.fc43.src.rpm
mock -r rocky+epel-10-x86_64 usb_modeswitch-2.6.2-4.fc43.src.rpm

then copy the rpms from /var/lib/mock/rocky+epel-10-x86_64/result/*.rpm to a safe place before we continue.

Then let’s build the usb_modeswitch-data rpms:

mock -r rocky+epel-10-x86_64 --installdeps usb_modeswitch-data-20191128-14.fc43.src.rpm
mock -r rocky+epel-10-x86_64 usb_modeswitch-data-20191128-14.fc43.src.rpm

Again, copy from the above location. I copied from the mock directory to /home/ian/usb_modeswitch, as shown below:

ian@rocky10:~$ tree usb_modeswitch

└── usb_modeswitch-debugsource-2.6.2-4.el10.x86_64.rpm

The directory listing with date/timestamps just to prove I’ve done it now:

ian@rocky10:~$ ls -lha usb_modeswitch

You can now install the usb_modeswitch and usb_modeswitch-data rpms.
