lolcat++ RPM Repository

RPM repository for lolcat++ — a C++ port of lolcat.

Hosted via GitHub Pages at https://lolcatpp.github.io/rpm/.

Supported distributions

Family	Versions	Architectures
Fedora	43, 44	x86_64, aarch64
RHEL / Rocky / Alma	9, 10	x86_64, aarch64
openSUSE Leap	16.0	x86_64, aarch64

Each subpath is its own self-contained RPM repository with repodata/ and a ready-to-use lolcatpp.repo file. The .repo file uses $releasever, so once installed it will follow you across distro upgrades within a family (e.g. Fedora 43 → 44).

Installing

Fedora / RHEL / Rocky / Alma (dnf)

The snippet below detects your distro from /etc/os-release and downloads the matching .repo file:

. /etc/os-release
case "$ID" in
  fedora)               family="fedora-${VERSION_ID}" ;;
  rhel|rocky|almalinux) family="rhel-${VERSION_ID%%.*}" ;;
  *) echo "unsupported distro: $ID"; exit 1 ;;
esac
sudo curl -fsSLo /etc/yum.repos.d/lolcatpp.repo "https://lolcatpp.github.io/rpm/${family}/lolcatpp.repo"
sudo dnf install -y lolcat++

openSUSE Leap (zypper)

. /etc/os-release
sudo zypper addrepo --gpgcheck \
  "https://lolcatpp.github.io/rpm/opensuse-leap-${VERSION_ID}/lolcatpp.repo"
sudo rpm --import https://lolcatpp.github.io/rpm/pubkey.gpg
sudo zypper install lolcat++

How packages get here

Packages are built and published automatically by the release workflow in the main repository when a new tag is pushed. Each supported distribution gets its own RPM built in a matching container, then createrepo_c regenerates the metadata for that distro's subdirectory.

The repository metadata (repomd.xml) is signed with the GPG key in pubkey.gpg.
