[EPEL-devel] EPEL8: New Ansible and (native) python modules

2022-06-06 Thread Igor Raits
Hello, The new ansible (5.x) is in the EPEL stable which works great until one tries to use some non-trivial modules which require some Python modules to be available… At that point you realize that the new Ansible is built against Python 3.8 (default is 3.6) and we don't have many python38-* pack

[EPEL-devel] epel8-playground officially decommissioned

2022-02-25 Thread Troy Dawson
EPEL Playground was shut down in January 2022 EPEL 8 Playground was a place that developers and maintainers could "play around" with updated, or changed packages in epel. EPEL Playground never really worked out and ended up being more of a burden than helpful. If developers or maintainers want so

[EPEL-devel] EPEL8 buildroot removed CentOS Devel repo

2021-11-17 Thread Troy Dawson
Since the CentOS Devel repo was first created, it has been a part of the EPEL8 buildroot. It supplied some of the missing devel packages that were not in any of the RHEL 8 public repos. It was a good concept, and did help some, but it didn't completely fix the problem. EPEL eventually came up wit

[EPEL-devel] EPEL8 not working with CentOS 8 stream?!

2021-08-20 Thread Enrico Tagliavini
Hello folks, I've just noticed that some packages in EPEL 8 are broken when used in CentOS 8 Stream. One example: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1989062 which has been broken for a long time now (from well before I decided to finally report the bug). EPEL 8 is fundamental for me, I

[EPEL-devel] EPEL8 R package rebuilds

2020-08-11 Thread Dave Love
I just tried to build an R package in copr, and it failed because an R dependency (which I maintain) needs rebuilding for R 4. Apart from the question of why R was updated to an incompatible version, what was supposed to happen about rebuilding things as a consequence? I got a large amount of noi

[EPEL-devel] epel8-playground target ignores build overrides?

My epel8 build for python-extras succeeded just fine (using python-testtools from a build override as a dependency - https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/overrides/python-testtools-2.4.0-3.el8), but the epel8-playground build claims python-testtools is not available: epel8: https://koji.fedoraproje

Hi, I got the request to package `neofetch` for EPEL8 [1]. It's already in Fedora for quite some time [2]. I have the intention to grant this request. According to the EPEL packaging guidelines I need to inform you first of this intention [3]. The package should work fine. If there are no objecti

[EPEL-devel] epel8-playground and centos-stream?

2019-09-24 Thread Kevin Fenzi
After the announcement today of centos-stream, I wonder if it would make sense to move epel8-playground to build against that instead of the latest rhel8 release? It would make playground less usefull for testing new radical changes against the current stable point release, but on the other hand,

[EPEL-devel] EPEL8 and using the minor release bump

Hi, I've noticed that (mostly Smooge) has been using the minor release bump (e.g., the .1 after the ?dist) [.][.]%{?dist}[.] in initial EPEL8 package versions that have been branched from Fedora. I just want to understand the reasoning behind this. I would think the main motivation would

greetings. As everyone knows, rhel8 was just released. Hurray! We have been thinking and gathering input from many many people to come up with a plan for epel8. It will not be as simple or direct as epel7 was, but I think we will have something great when we are done. Short term: * We (Fedora i
