I'm fine with retiring it.
But on the alternatives , you can have modules (or application streams) for both epel and fedora. It would be a good way forward. so it won't enforce nextcloud version with a given fedora and or epel and would allow to update nextcloud at users own pace. But as epel7 is concerned, I'm good for retirement. _______________________________________________ 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://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/epel-devel@lists.fedoraproject.org
