I could not find anything remotely like this in dnf documentation. I can possibly open and RFE, but given how the dnf devs are swamped I don't think it would be realistic to expect this to land any time soon. Failing that, can they at least have a big comment block explaining that you shouldn't use them to install any packages with? Can do. I can even put that into the package descriptions. -- Miro Hrončok -- Phone: +420777974800 IRC: mhroncok ___ 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

It would just be unretiring the fedora branches of an existing package? Technically, the package is "retired for 8+ weeks" on Fedora. Hence a new review request. That said, I am -1 on the idea. You have no idea how many people try to install epel packages on fedora. We had to explicitly add a Conflicts to try and reduce this, and that was with them in another repo entirely! I fear if we do this more people will start installing stuff from epel on fedora and cause a lot of breakage. I understand the concern, but am not considering it a blocker for this, especially since people will find a way to download the epel packages anyway. This does not allow `dnf install epel-release` on Fedora neither are the repos enabled. The amount of work to actually use this package to install epel packages on Fedora is more or less the same as downloading the packages from Koji or EPEL mirrors. +1 from me. People will always do weird things, if they want rope, I say let them have it. But that shouldn't stop us from making life easier for packagers. I myself would use this. The discussion kinda stopped. I don't want to force the package in, but I'd like to have some resolution.
