Hello, The idea, which is probably not new or has been asked before, is about having EPEL repos to behave like RHEL repos and keep RPMs version from previous release/updates.
The best case scenario is for recent version of the programming languages, but it could apply to many other packages. Languages in particular have regular and important updates which are released as stable version. There is no reason for EPEL to not benefit from those. But bringing more recent release potentially breaks backward compatibility and therefore is not recommended by the Fedora/EPEL package update policy. Meanwhile if EPEL could keep older RPMs version like RHEL channels does, then we could satisfy more people by offering various versions. Does it make sense and is this doable?
