For what it's worth, I've spent almost every single weekend
alternating between this change and the Btrfs one. I wound up also
having to implement the EPEL7 and EPEL8 macros (that were out of
scope
of the change, but I did it anyway because people complained). Igor
and myself had been working on doing the updates each weekend we
could, however my internet connectivity to Dist-Git and Koji had been
troublesome for the past few weekends, and that has made working on
it
hard.
Thanks for doing the EPEL macros! That was one of the major concerns
with the initial change proposal, if I recall the discussion.
I'm fixing one of my package now (et) since there's an update for it
last week that I want to push out anyway, and being able to use the
same macros on EPEL8 is really nice.
