Hi,
as RHEL 8 was released it was clear to us that due to the new
infrastructure requirements there will be some more work to do for EPEL
8 to be released.
Iirc form reading your plans it will be at least 8-10 weeks until there
will be an EPEL 8, unclear if it is really stable at that point.
Right.
Is there anything, aside from older versions, which holds one back
from
using EPEL 7 for the time being with RHEL 8 in production?
We don't really need that much from EPEL directly but are using repos in
production which depend on EPEL.
Or is this considered that unsafe we have to wait until EPEL 8 is done?
I don't think it would have any chance of working. The libraries in
rhel8 are completely different from rhel7. I don't think any epel7 rpms
will install, and if they do, I doubt they would work at all.
