Hi,
I've noticed that (mostly Smooge) has been using the minor release bump
(e.g., the .1 after the ?dist)
<pkgrel>[.<extraver>][.<snapinfo>]%{?dist}[.<minorbump>]
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 be if there was an upgrade path between EPEL8 and Fedora,
but I don't think such a thing would ever exist.
I guess it might also make sense if a packager plans to maintain a single
spec for Fedora and EPEL8(?), but not if EPEL8 is going to be maintained
as a separate branch.
Thanks,
Scott
