This has always been allowed. EPEL packagers are not required to maintain their packages for the entire corresponding RHEL lifecycle. https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/package-maintainers/Package_Retirement_Process/#_epel I will point out that it's trivial to avoid dealing with a subscription by doing koji scratch builds, or by using the existing oraclelinux-epel-8-x86_64 mock chroot, or by submitting equivalent {clone}-epel-8-{arch} chroots to mock-core-configs for your preferred clone. Mass retiring all of your epel8 packages seems like an overreaction to me, but it is your choice. If you do decide to go that route I hope you're welcoming to other maintainers that offer to co-maintainer your packages to be responsible for the epel8 branch going forward. Ideally you would also send an email to epel-devel beforehand to avoid a quick retire/unretire churn for the packages other maintainers are interested in keeping around. -- Carl George _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
