In trying to get resources allocated, I have been working on the project
plans for 8. The original one was at
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Infrastructure_2020/EPEL-8
As of today an updated one is at
https://smooge.fedorapeople.org/EPEL-8/
which I will translate to wiki for better editing this weekend. However
the core items I am currently working on
1.
https://smooge.fedorapeople.org/EPEL-8/EPEL-8-known-package-list.txt contains
a list of packages I know we can't rebuild (because they will be in
CentOS/RHEL-8 and a list of packages I know will build with our first
attempt at EPEL-8
2. I am currently working on patches for
https://github.com/puiterwijk/grobisplitter so that I can get it to work
with how Red Hat publishes its packages. I am also working on it just
breaking out default modules.
3. I have discovered that modules which have no default channel should not
be used to build non-modular packages against. There are 6 modules set up
this way
( 389-ds, libselinux-python, mod_auth_openidc, parfait, pki-core, pki-deps
) and so the packages in them will not be available to build against. Even
after we have some ursa-* solution in place, packages requiring them must
be part of a module.
