I package nmh for Fedora. It won't build for EPEL 7 and I haven't figured
out how to get it into EPEL 8 and 9 to try. I might not have time for a
while. If you want to take a look, that would be very helpful.
If you want to build an rpm yourself, this should work:
wget http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/nmh.git/plain/build_nmh
sh build_nmh -drv -b 1.7-release
and respond to the prompts. The RPM will be put in the RPM/RPMS/<arch>
directory below the installation.
