Dear all, the EPEL build target in COPR build packages based on
CentOS Linux 8. What happens at EOL of CentOS Linux 8? Any clues?
Copr just uses `mock-core-configs` package, and the `epel-*.cfg` files
there.
I believe that anyone who will need to do local builds (including Fedora
Copr) will be able to get the appropriate subscription [1], and so we'll
be able to change the epel-8 config from centos+epel to rhel+epel in
mock-core-configs. Btw. there already are some `rhelepel-*` configs
(feel free to try them, as that's what will be in epel-*, see also [2]).
I also believe that we'll be able to have some subscription for
Fedora Copr builders that will allow us to continue using
mock-core-configs in default variant.
Cross-arch builds (--forcearch) will stop working till bz#1912847 is fixed, and
this would affect Copr.
BTW, I assume that EPEL stuff are build on RHEL.
EPEL content is built in Koji _against_ RHEL+EPEL repos.
RHEL8.4 is out now and new EPEL builds would be done on EL8.4 while
COPR
is bounded to CL8.3 ... mmh?
I thought that this is normal situation (8.4 release is fresh), and that
CentOS 8 is supported till the end of this year - so please correct me if
I'm wrong but CentOS 8 should still get the 8.4 update?
