Hi All,
As many of you know, I'm working on a "KDE-rawhide" module for EPEL8.
This module would build the whole KDE/Plasma/kf5/qt5 stack as a module
for EPEL8, using what is in Fedora rawhide.
As a result, I'm going to put some %if statements in some of the
Fedora master spec files.
Most of these are because of missing -devel packages from RHEL8, as
well as some desktop related packages not being on all arches.
This will affect between 30 and 60 packages.
I will try to keep these as unobtrusive as I can, but also detailed in
the git commit.
One question I have. Do ya'll think I should change the release version?
I was thinking not, since I don't plan on rebuilding these on rawhide.
But then it looks strange if I don't have these changes in the
changelog.
I keep going back and forth on the release number change.
It's fine to not bump the release and changelog in this circumstance.
You're not building it into master, and it can be taken care of by the
next change by who builds it then.
That said, do you have a strategy for tracking master well with
modulemds? It doesn't seem like this handles it well..
