In the immediate term, there isn't much that can be done by interested contributors, but I appreciate the offer and willingness to help. Without getting too into the weeds, we needed to have tooling changes landed for handling modules, and ursine packages as well as a few updates to koji in order to make this work, as well as some creative scripting by the Infra team to plumb it all in. We are working through this and in typical community fashion "it'll be released when it's ready". We know folks want EPEL and we're working it as fast as we can. For the future, I'm working with RHEL leadership to make sure this is taken into account for the planning process. I make no promises, but I am making it known. -- Jim Perrin The CentOS Project | http://www.centos.org twitter: @BitIntegrity | GPG Key: FA09AD77 _______________________________________________ epel-devel mailing list -- epel-devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to epel-devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/epel-devel@lists.fedoraproject.org
