Taking python-keyring[epel7], because I use it and want it maintained. I
have no experience with the package, though, so if another wants it, I'll
gladly hand it over as soon as they step up.

Also, after taking a package, how does one check to see if all of its
dependencies are in a good state? (non-orphaned)

Aside from these emails for passive notification, is there a way to get a
smaller, personalized report, like on pkgdb, about a specific package's
dependencies? Or a particular user's packages' dependencies?

That's unfortunate. These emails are a bit spammy, are not easily parsed,
and are hard to track. Not only is it hard to tell the difference between
notices sent directly to me, or sent to me via the mailing list, it also
seems impossible to get an immediate report of a newly acquired package.

It seems like it'd be useful for pkgdb (or some other system) to show the
active/orphan/retire status of a package and all its dependencies, on
demand, rather than wait for the next round of emails like this to see that
one of your critical dependencies just got retired.

Basically, I think we need a web UI for whatever system is currently
generating these emails.

Would (warning: this will lose history) `git push --delete origin epel7`
work? It'd be a shame to lose history if it's not already reflected in
another branch, though. Maybe do `git checkout master && git merge -s ours
epel7 && git push origin master` first to preserve the history in the
master branch without changing the code in that branch?

Some of these are several years old. Do we really need to get regular
updates about these? Clearly, neither the users nor the maintainers care
about these updates. Should there be a time limit in bodhi before it just
gets deleted? Or... can somebody with elevated privileges just push the
packages to stable to clear them out? Maybe if they introduce a bug,
somebody will at least pay attention to them.

EPEL Amazon Linux and

Hi,

I've seen the thread of LLVM on Amazon, recently I received a report
that my package lnav doesn't work properly on Amazon Linux:

lnav: undefined symbol: _ZN7pcrecpp2RE4InitEPKcPKNS_10RE_OptionsE

From the symbol I can see there should be a problem in pcre package.

Therefore here comes a question, what's the difference between

The package in Amazon Linux is not the same version in RHEL. So
recompiling is needed.

Matthew, thanks for your reply.

I took the info from the bug, and found that pcre on amazon linux is
8.x, quite fresh, RHEL only has 7.x version for customers.

So I believe it's worthwhile to add some notes on EPEL page to alert the
incompatibility.

Version 4.39:

- Added ballot, checkmark, heavy ballot and heavy checkmark.
- Changed HT, LF etc. in sizes 14 and 18-hi2 to be proportional to the
letter height, not the matrix height.
- Added the powerline characters E0A0..E0A2 and E0B0..E0B3.
- Added diameter (2300) - same gluph as empty set (2205).

Quite frankly, it's no needed as a MUST. You could let users to
install. When I claimed over this package months ago, it's already
there.

I could drop this requires, but I need time to verify the conf file
and make sure dmenu works still(no major changes in the display).
Unfortunately, I don't have time now.

If someone can help test and feedback the pros and cons of the drop of
the terminus, that's really helpful here...

I'm not sure. This package has been split up into 4 packages, and I
doubt if RHEL really needs them. The package owners will decide what
they want.

Anyway he will receive the broken deps report if he really makes the
broken xfdesktop in the EPEL7, so he will fix it soon.

There are some xfce guys in this list, you can await their answers.

Thanks.

This list is not the right place to discuss these stuffs.

If you want to let them land in the EPEL7,  please fill bugs in Bugzilla
against the relevant component. I'm sure most of the owners of those
packages may not subscribe to this list.

I guess you even don't know how to use Bugzilla.

I've closed your requests in the bugzilla.

Standard procedure:

1. Check if someone has requested:

http://bugz.fedoraproject.org/$(PACKAGE_NAME)

Replace that PACKAGE_NAME with the actual name, like blt, tcllib.

2. If not, click the button in the page and report one.

If this package has EL branch, file a bug under EL first, if you can't
get any responses, file one under Fedora then.

3. Wait.

Hi,

Redis in EPEL6 is pretty dated, I'd like to update it to the latest

Is it allowed to update the package from 2.4 to 2.8 for new RHEL 6.x

Migration from users can't be avoided I think, and I doubt if there
are users using 2.4 since it's not supported and (may) full of
security holes.

works fine here, it  installs  qt5-qtdeclarative-5.6.2-1.el7  and

Thanks for the reply. But I already use epel and nux, and when I install

there another yum way (I mean, aside from downloading the individual

[EPEL-devel] Fast-moving packages in EPEL

2020-10-10 Thread Christopher Engelhard
Hi,
the nextcloud server package is currently stuck at ancient version 10
(current is 20) in EPEL7 (It's not (yet) available EPEL8 repos).

I'd like to fix that, but

- upstream releases a new version roughly every 4 months
- they support them only for roughly 1 year (officially it's "at least 8
months")
- nextcloud receives A LOT of bug- and CVE-fixes, and there is no way
I'll be able to backport all of those, so staying on an older version
after upstream stopped support is not really an option.

So, should this still be in EPEL even though it would receive major
version updates or is it better to retire it from EPEL?

I suspect that EPEL users would probably prefer to run it from
upstream's containers anyways, so retiring might make more sense, but
I'm open either way.

[EPEL-devel] Re: Fast-moving packages in EPEL

2020-10-11 Thread Christopher Engelhard
One thing I forgot that makes things even worse:

- upstream does not support updates across more than one major version,
so anybody who actually has the old v10 installed will have their
installation completely broken by ANY update at this point
- for the same reason, trying to limit major updates to whenever
CentOS/RHEL release a new version won't work either.

I think I'll retire and look into re-adding it via modularity.

Do you happen to have a system with the current 10.0.something EPEL7
package set up & would you be willing to - if I make an updated package
- test the upgrade process? I could set up something myself, but I think
most problems are going to be with database changes, and that's not
really testable on an empty test install ...

Not sure yet - I wanted to make sure it even makes sense to keep
nextcloud in EPEL7 first. But that's another reason it's probably risky
to jump people from NC10 to NC18+ (NC13 was the last release to support
PHP5.x, so that's no use). Maybe Copr is the way to go here, people will
definitely only get the package if they seek it out, and it's easier to
leave instructions/caveats where people will see them.

My current plan is
 - put current nextcloud, following their 'stable' path in epel-8-playground
 - see about creating nextcloud-XX and maybe nextcloud-latest modules
for inclusion in epel8
 - epel7: ???

OK, that might work - somehow I remembered the minor versions being

At As Nick Howitt pointed out, NC can be modified to skip the version
check, so maybe the hopping isn't even necessary. Still, if the old

I was thinking of offering a nextcloud-stable or -latest stream that
simply follows upstream release channel (i.e. N+1.0 replaces N.x, even
if N is still supported and receiving updates) in addition
tonextcloud-. Or have a normal (ursine?) package for that. That
way users can choose between an automatically updating or version-stable
Nextcloud, and whatever they choose, they know what they're in for.

Can someone confirm that? If the package can't depend on php7.2+, then
the question of how to deal with EPEL7 is moot.

OK, thanks, that clears that up. So I'll go ahead and retire the EPEL7
package. Maybe I can put an updated one on Copr instead.

Thanks to all of you, you helped tremendously.

Thanks for the clarification, but you're right, that won't help here, as
NC has extensive runtime PHP7.2+ dependencies.

Intuitively, I think that requiring RHEL dev subscriptions would pretty
much kill  EPEL packaging on Copr. Unless you specifically want to
create EPEL packages, why would you get and keep a RHEL dev subscription
when you could just not check the EPEL-boxes?

From a purely technical perspective, i.e. pretending it were CentFork
Community Linux, are there reasons not to use Oracle Linux?

I'm sure the Scientific Linux people will do something, given that they
just recently decided to not release SL8 but rather use CentOS 8. I feel
quite bad for them, actually ...

Some tentative work seem to be happening here:
https://github.com/hpcng/rocky
but it's early days obviously. They seem to be interested in
coordination with other attempts
(https://github.com/hpcng/rocky/issues/2), which is good.

[EPEL-devel] Re: Proposal: Dropping modules from EPEL-8. Not adding modules to EPEL-9

2022-09-09 Thread Christopher Engelhard
I found it useful to ship the nextcloud package as a module, particularly in 
EPEL, but if after multiple years there really are only 12 packages in the repo 
and even those may or may not work then that is a pretty clear argument for 
eating the sunk cost & abandoning the idea.

[EPEL-devel] Packages for PHP 8.1

2023-02-21 Thread Joseph Christopher Sible
Hello,

I have a RHEL 9 system running PHP 8.1 from the Red Hat AppStream module. I 
tried to install php-sodium and php-pecl-imagick from EPEL 9 on it, but DNF 
gave an error that basically said those packages only work with PHP 8.0. Would 
it be possible to provide versions of those packages that are compatible with 
PHP 8.1 too?

Thanks,

Joseph C. Sible
