RHEL/CentOS 8 distro

[JonKohler]

Hey arp-scan'ers - we've got an internal service that uses arp-scan, which we love (good work!). That service is currently using CentOS 7.x userspace.

We're looking to upgrade that service to CentOS 8.x userspace, and I don't see anything in either CentOS 8.x streams or EPEL 8 for arp-scan.

Is that intentional? If so, is the recommended approach to build and install independently? Or is there another yum compatible stream available?

Happy to make changes to the code, metadata, dependencies etc. if there's anything blocking a CentOS 8.x package build.

@JonKohler,
Can you run a Docker container run in your environment? If so, I've built one based on alpine, it's quite small, and should work everywhere you can give it the correct permissions.

# Basic Usage:
# docker run --net=host -it wfnintr/arp-scan -l
FROM alpine:latest
LABEL maintainer="wfnintr@null.net"
RUN apk add --no-cache --virtual .depends \
	git automake autoconf make gcc g++ libpcap-dev && \
	apk add libpcap && \
	git clone https://github.com/royhills/arp-scan.git && \
	cd arp-scan && \
	autoreconf --install && \
	./configure && \
	make && \
	make install && \
	apk del .depends
ENTRYPOINT ["arp-scan"]

arp-scan is now available in epel8 repository

and can be installed using

yum -y install arp-scan

or

dnf -y install arp-scan

Fabulous! Thanks for tracking that @itamarjp, this is exactly what we were looking for
