At this time of writing (2016-05), burp 2.x is not available neither by EPEL yum channel nor Fedora project.
Here the status of building this software against various distributions:

• el5, el6, el7 : building/packaging is fine
• fedora 22, 23, 24 and fedora-rawhide: building/packaging is fine
• XXX COPR building for arch ARM is unusable, too much wait (2016-02)

NB: elx = RHELx and derivatives (CentOS x, ScientificLinux x, etc)

version: 1.4.40 (2016-03)

• EPEL channel provides binary package of burp 1.x for el6 and el7, but NOT for el5.

• FedoraProject provides burp 1.x packaging for Fedora 22, Fedora 23, and Fedora-rawhide

• el5 (RHEL5, CentOS 5):

  • not provided by EPEL repository for burp 1.x (as this time of writing)
  • build is fine with the .spec file provided by the 'el5' branch of this repo.
  • need yajl-devel package too, that has to be built to (branch 'el5').
  • does not need uthash package, since uthash provided in burp 1.x source code. (that is nice since uthash is not packaged for el5, either in OS, update or EPEL yum channels)

If you don't want to use the binary packages from the COPR space hosted by Fedora, you can use the packaging provided here.
Here the instructions to achieve it.

• branch el5 : source packaging for el5 (RHEL5, CentOS5, etc)
• branch master : source packaging for all other platforms than el5

Getting tired of tito stuff, I use a more conventional file structure:

<pkg>/SPECS/ ......... contains the Specfile of package <pkg>
<pkg>/SOURCES/ ....... contains all needed source files

Usage:

• install and enable use of the EPEL repo

• launch the build of a (binary) package:

cd mkdir -p RPMS BUILD SRPMS rpmbuild --define="_topdir $(pwd)" -bb SPECS/.spec ```

• build a SRPM source package into <pkg>/SPRMS/ folder:

cd mkdir -p SRPMS rpmbuild --define="_topdir $(pwd)" -bs SPECS/.spec ```

To request a build with COPR infrastructure, choose to generate from a SRPM file that you upload.
