I'd suggest a middle-ground: we normally build against the latest RHEL 8 minor release. Once the RHEL 8.x+1 *beta* is released, we change epel8-playground to build against CentOS stream until the GA release. We can also potentially run a mass-rebuild at this time to help identify issues early. _______________________________________________ epel-devel mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/[email protected]
