Hi, What is the strategy regarding packages like nextcould that has a major update every 5/6 months? I mean, regarding incompatible upgrades policy.
Right now, nextcloud-V10 is in EPEL7 and is not upgraded. On nextcloud site, it is obsolete and the current version is nextcloud-V17.0.0 https://github.com/nextcloud/server/wiki/Maintenance-and-Release-Schedule Nextcloud supports upgrading from one version to another, but now, upgrading from v10 to V17 is impossible. How will EPEL8 handle those kind of software? Will there be a specific repo for those kind of software that constantly evolve or will it be frozen for entire EPEL8 life? Or will it never be eligible for inclusion in EPEL8 due to its lifecycle? Regards, Olivier.
