This is a nice idea, but currently no text substations in templates are implemented. It only works in attributes right now.

Hello,
  I am using template for some elogbook entries.

Is is possible to automatically change the template using the actual date in some filed. 

Something like: the template has a place-holder <start date> and this is replaced with today's date when a new entry is created.

I already have a "date" filed which is automatically filled, but I've been asked to have the date also in the template.

Thanks in advance
Stefano

Yes, same build options are used. 
But i can not'confirm that they are working as well as on EL7. The tests done by build script on CI/CD are quite simple and limited to rpm installation, service start and access from cmdline to elog server.
So thanks to report your personal experience with EL8/9 builds... 🤓

Hi,

Thanks for the links to EL8/EL9. 

Does this package support LDAP and SSL as well?

Hi,

The ELOG website provides new link to RPM packages :

Linux binaries are distributed as RPMs.

EL8/EL9 RPM are also available.

Is there an RPM available for Rocky 8 or Rocky 9?

And checking over https://elog.psi.ch/elog/download/RPMS/ , only el7 is found. Is that the right place to look for EL8 or EL9 based RPM?

Thanks,

Scott

Normally it should work. Requirements are set in SPEC file.

Almost all of them are installed by ELOG RPM or are already installed by default Redhat profiles.

Nina, do you use right RPM version (el7/8/9) according to Rockylinux one ? El7 rpm can not be installed on RL9...

Is there a way to install all dependencies automatically? Like if I install a package like "emacs" I get a list of dependencies with are automatically installed:
