I think building for Fedora in Fedora would moderate the concerns about old compiler/flags/etc., because the oldest Fedora at any point is about a year old. The oldest EPEL (7) is currently approaching 9 years old, and even the oldest you listed (8) is 4 years old. It would also help with reproducibility. EPEL is built against RHEL, which is not freely available (yes, there are rebuilds, there are free limited developer licenses, etc., but it's not directly easy for someone else to exactly reproduce the EPEL build environment). That's okay for EPEL builds, but I personally feel it would be more acceptable to build Fedora packages on Fedora. -- Chris Adams <li...@cmadams.net> _______________________________________________ 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, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
