It was deduced experimentally during early -- for some value of early -- CentOS development. I'll suggest the reference to Red Hat is changed. It could be important to know if it was correct now, which was a reason for asking here. I assume that rebuilds are essentially the same as RHEL (modulo reproducible builds) when it comes to things like reporting bugs and issues relevant to EPEL development. Specifically I assume they won't potentially have different code generation bugs. _______________________________________________ epel-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.fedoraproject.org/admin/lists/[email protected]
