Hi all, I’ve had some discussion with Jonathan Wright elsewhere about the topic of this message, but wanted to verify my understanding is correct before I embark on it, and thought I’d do so on list.
singularity-ce is currently packaged at v4.0.3 in Fedora Rawhide, and v.3.11.5 elsewhere (Fedora releases and EPEL). We want to make a v4 available to EPEL users, as many would be interested in it, but I wouldn’t consider it a compatible update because there are some CLI changes, and small behaviour changes. My understanding is that in order to provide a 4.x in EPEL, without any incompatible update happening for users: 1) I create a new package, singularity-ce4, to package the 4.x version. In rawhide, this will be the same as the singularity-ce package currently in rawhide, but needs new package review etc. 2) For rawhide / upcoming f40 *only*, the new singularity-ce4 package will provide/obsolete singularity-ce as it is the same thing … and singularity-ce can be retired in rawhide. 3) When singularity-ce4 is added to EPEL it will *not* provide/obsolete singularity-ce, but a message can be added to %post to inform people about the availability of v4. At some point in the future, if 3.x is no longer maintainable for good reason, then the incompatible update procedure can be pursued to make singularity-ce4 provide/obsolete singularity-ce in EPEL 7/8/9 - and singularity-ce is fully retired. EPEL 10 will only get singularity-ce4. Apologies for the multiple complex queries lately. I really appreciate your guidance!
