Historically most EPEL packages don't need to be rebuilt with every minor release, as RHEL libraries don't change often. When they do need to be rebuilt, it's been left up to the individual maintainers to take care of as their time allows. This has mostly worked OK for us. Plan A would be a departure from the norm, where we do a mass rebuild at 9.0 for a "bootstrap" of epel9 content from epel9-next. At the last EPEL Steering Committee meeting we talked about doing mass rebuilds at every future minor release, but more or less agreed that this would be overkill and would result in a drastic increase in disk usage in the infrastructure. Additionally our existing mass rebuild tooling doesn't account for changes that exist in the epel9-next branches that need to be merged to the epel9 branches before building. Plans B and C are more like the status quo, where packagers target epel9, and do individual package rebuilds as needed after a RHEL minor release. -- Carl George _______________________________________________ epel-devel mailing list -- epel-devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to epel-devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org 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/epel-devel@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
