[EPEL-devel] Re: EPEL 8 Modules get the axe on Halloween 2022
There has been a schedule update to the epel8 modularity removal. October 31, 2022 - The updated epel-release will be pushed to epel8 stable -- This sets "enabled = 0" for epel-modular, if you haven't already changed your config. February 15, 2023 - The EPEL 8 modules will be archived and removed. -- The mirror manager will be pointed to the archive. * Question:Why was the final archive moved to February 15th. * Answer1: EPEL is made to help Enterprise users. Many Enterprise users are already in an end of the year freeze. This will give them time to plan, test, and implement any changes they might face. * Answer2: Because February 14th was voted down by our significant others.
