2021-06-04 Thread Troy Dawson
Just so people know, you are running CentOS Stream 8, not regular CentOS 8. CentOS Stream 8 has updated qt5 to qt5-5.15. It was originally 5.12. Thus, when RHEL 8.5 comes out, it will also have qt5-5.15. I wrote about this a couple weeks ago.[1] But to summarize, this is a known problem with

I believe this is a recommendation, versus a policy. I wanted to get people's thoughts on it, and if ya'll like it, put it in the documentation. In Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 8, Red Hat decided to not ship all packages that are built from RHEL spec files. This will also be true of RHEL

EPEL Next[1][2] is meant for machines running CentOS Stream. We currently have epel8-next, and are working on getting epel9-next setup so that maintainers can build on it. Technically epel9-next will be a "Pre-Release" of epel9, but saying it is a "pre-release" implies that it will go away.
