Has anyone used opensnitch on Fedora? It’s a Little Snitch analogue from Mac OS. It’s, like, the best thing in existence for computers. I was so excited someone “ported” it, only to find out it’s not in Fedora repo. How come? Which repo has it? Thanks.
Hey there, I do not have the answer to your question however if you’re wanting to install it you can download the .rpm package from github Releases · evilsocket/opensnitch · GitHub, install with sudo dnf install opensnitch-ui-1.7.0rc2-1.noarch.rpm from the download directory and to enable at system boot run sudo systemctl enable --now opensnitch.service
But I would still like to know why a port of such a majestic monumental app that’s super popular on macOS for over a decade is absent from the fedora repo. It’s not a new development, opensnitch has been around since over 4 years ago.
Probably because nobody was interested in it enough to package it for Fedora in their free time. Same as with many other questions “Why hasn’t somebody …?” when asked in the context of people doing things for free because they are passionate about something.
Hmmm, how would I package it for Fedora?
The best starting point are probably the Fedora Packaging Guidelines in the Fedora Documentation.
