It's why I publish RPM building tools for vtwm, at https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__github.com_nkadel_vtwm-2D5.5.x-2Dsrpm&d=DwIFaQ&c=gRgGjJ3BkIsb5y6s49QqsA&r=gd8BzeSQcySVxr0gDWSEbN-P-pgDXkdyCtaMqdCgPPdW1cyL5RIpaIYrCn8C5x2A&m=86AkxVobOiiYnsxjJOrEG0fPeEVdv7MJpk7i13eP6to&s=KKB9w_jCPp3S4gTfQXVLVQL4ob76veSK8uFfQU0CeSA&e= Still works fine on CentOS 8, SL 7, and Fedora 32.
