How to support python 3.8 from RHEL 8.2 in EPEL?
by Orion Poplawski
Folks -
Looks like RHEL 8.2 will have python 3.8 in addition to python 3.6. From
the 8.2 beta:
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 for x86_64 - AppStream Beta (RPMs)
Name Stream Profiles Summary
python27 2.7 [d][e] common [d] Python programming
language, version 2.7
python36 3.6 [d][e] build, common [d] Python programming
language, version 3.6
python38 3.8 [d][e] build, common [d] Python programming
language, version 3.8
Currently, %python_pkgversion is set to 3 in
/usr/lib/rpm/macros.d/macros.python-srpm from python-srpm-macros.
python3-devel is still provided only by python36-devel, so presumably all
EPEL8 python packages will continue to be built against python 3.6. But I
imagine that people will soon be asking for python 3.8 versions of EPEL
packages. How can we provide those? Does this have to be done in some
modular fashion - which seems to come back to the discussion of whether or not
every package has to become its own module or whether to group them together
somehow. Or since both python modules are "default" modules and we can
install both python36-devel and python38-devel at the same time, perhaps we
can define the python3_other* macros again for python38 and just go that way?
Thoughts?

gcc-gnat
by Erick Wittman
Hi EPEL developers.
I am using CentOS 8 and am using various packages in the EPEL
repository. I am interested in seeing gcc-gnat added to EPEL.
I cannot find a current Fedora maintainer listed for this package, but
it is available in Fedora (at least in version 32). Are there any
EPEL
maintainers who are interested in creating an EPEL version of this package?
Thank you

proposal: EPEL 8 Next
by Carl George
Howdy folks,
A large part of my day job is working on CentOS Stream. Naturally I would
like it to be successful and have wide adoption. I know that EPEL will play
a big role in this success. EPEL is extremely popular. Many users consider
RHEL and CentOS unusable without it.
The problem we are facing is that EPEL 8 cannot be 100% compatible with
RHEL/CentOS 8 and CentOS 8 Stream at the same time. It is not uncommon for
RHEL to ship library soname changes in minor releases. In the RHEL 8 cycle,
those changes are showing up in CentOS 8 Stream first. EPEL 8 builds
against the latest RHEL 8 release. This can result in EPEL 8 packages that
are uninstallable on CentOS 8 Stream due to the library differences. One
prominent example we have already seen is llvm-libs, which has increased its
library soname in every RHEL 8 minor release so far. Another increase is
planned for RHEL 8.3, which has already been released in CentOS 8 Stream.
There are likely other incompatibilities that haven't been noticed yet. I
expect this problem to grow worse as RHEL development continues and more
packages are added to EPEL 8. This situation is hurting the adoption of
CentOS Stream.
To solve this problem, I am proposing that we create a new repository called
EPEL 8 Next.
- built against CentOS 8 Stream
- opt-in for packagers (must request epel8-next dist-git branch)
- opt-in for users (part of epel-release but disabled by default)
- used *with* epel8, not *instead of*
This will provide EPEL packagers a place where they can update their
packages when necessary to be compatible with CentOS 8 Stream. These
packages would also be useful for RHEL 8 users during the gap between a RHEL
minor release and the equivalent CentOS 8 Linux rebuild. In theory this
repository should also be directly consumable by RHEL 8 Beta releases.
Similar to RHEL itself, breaking changes could be permitted in epel8-next in
preparation for delivering them to epel8 around the time of the next RHEL
minor release.
This proposal may sound similar to epel8-playground. However, that was
still built against RHEL 8, so it didn't solve the compatibility issue with
CentOS 8 Stream. This proposal does draw on lessons learned from the
playground experiment.
- no automatic builds via packages.cfg
- opt-in rather than opt-out
- layering on top of epel8, rather than duplicating content
I first suggested this idea at the last EPEL Steering Committee meeting, and
we plan to discuss it again during the next one. Please share your thoughts
on this proposal.

ANNOUNCE: Nov 2020 EPEL6 End of Life
by Stephen John Smoogen
Hello it is with a fond farewell, we announce the end of life of EPEL-6. No
further builds or promotion of builds will be possible in the Fedora Build
System. The repositories in /pub/epel/6 will be archived to
/pub/archive/epel/6/ and mirror lists will be pointed to this in 2 weeks.
Thank you all for the 10 years of building EL-6 packages.
