Packages get put into stream at the rate of internal developers doing things and getting stuff put into GIT. There is no communication to know when this will happen so knowing what packages to build before this drops isn't happening. 1. The QT packages in Stream have taken a week to be fixed due to various issues found in them. [Mostly they were built in the wrong order and linked against each other poorly.] 2. This means rebuilding packages have to wait until that is fixed as some people found when they jumped on it sooner. Either they could not rebuild anything or when they rebuilt it they needed to do it again when the updated packages with the right library links came out. 3. Packages in EPEL are maintained by a lot of people who may not know that centos-stream have updated rapidly and do not have the spare capacity to update sooner than the weekend spare time they had allotted to do it. What are ways that this could be improved? > Best regards > > [1]: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2077742 > _______________________________________________ > 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 > Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: > https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure > -- Stephen J Smoogen.
