TaskWarrior for AlmaLinux 9

TaskWarrior is one of my favorite apps. It’s a lightweight text-based to-do/reminder system that doesn’t require a GUI or web environment to run in. It allows for organizing tasks, checking off completed tasks, scheduling recurring tasks and keeps a change history. Plus quite a bit more.

One reason I especially like it is because my servers run headless without web controls. Yes, even in this day and age, sometimes a strictly CLI-based administration system has its merits.

Unfortunately, however, a lot of my servers run one of the Red Hat variants, such as AlmaLinux, and TaskWarrior hasn’t been part of the standard package repository there. That’s different from Fedora, which currently has packages for TaskWarrior 2 and TaskWarrior 3. TaskWarrior 2 keeps tasks in a private file directory, but TaskWarior 3 uses an SQLite database.

So I decided to remedy that. You can find the results at https://gogs.mousetech.com/mtsinc7/taskwarrior-almalinux9 and you have the option to take the easy way out (install the pre-built application RPM) or select one of 3 ways to build it.

The current release is TaskWarrior v3.5.0, which at the date this is published is the latest stable version. Hopefully I’ll be adding new versions as they come online.
