RHEL 8 is dead for us from that point until Epel 8 is released. More than 6 months old application versions in AppStream are not very helpful though. We won't leave RHEL/CentOS in favour of a bleeding edge distro in production as we love the stable core system for years now. But for some apps we simply run latest versions and this seems impossible without an Epel basis. AppStreams won't help with more often releases if they are 6-12 months behind upstream, if that is enough estimated at all. Thanks Kevin. Hope everything works out in the best time possible. ___ 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://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/epel-devel@lists.fedoraproject.org

[EPEL-devel] EPEL 7 in RHEL 8
Hi, as RHEL 8 was released it was clear to us that due to the new infrastructure requirements there will be some more work to do for EPEL 8 to be released. Iirc form reading your plans it will be at least 8-10 weeks until there will be an EPEL 8, unclear if it is really stable at that point. Is there anything, aside from older versions, which holds one back from using EPEL 7 for the time being with RHEL 8 in production? We don't really need that much from EPEL directly but are using repos in production which depend on EPEL. Or is this considered that unsafe we have to wait until EPEL 8 is done?
