There is some remaining clean up work in the infrastructure remaining, but all the user and maintainer facing changes have been completed. -- Carl George -- ___ epel-devel mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] 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/[email protected] Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue

Switching the mirrormanager repo redirects to 10.1 is part of the
process we're doing today.
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/infra/release_guide/sop_epel_minor_eol/#_mirror_tasks
The original idea way back when we were first planning EPEL 10 was
that systems could just request an EPEL minor version matching their
system. We realized later that would lead to upgrade path issues, so
we had to adjust the plan.

We have no control over $releasever, that is set to 10 by RHEL itself
unless you override it to a specific minor release.

I updated a VM to RHEL 10.1, see /etc/os-release clearly says 10.1...
but dnf is still using 10.0 for EPEL. It looks like dnf is fetching the
following URL from mirrormanager:
https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=epel-z-10&arch=x86_64
The URL in the repo file is:
https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=epel${releasever_minor:+-z}-$releasever&arch=$basearch
I thought $releasever should be 10.1 on RHEL, not just 10.

[EPEL-devel] Re: Upcoming EPEL 10.0 retirement
Hello EPEL packagers Since RHEL 10.1 is starting to be available through several channels, we are going to start the retirement of the 10.0 branch and the archival of the 10.0 content. Also we are going to prepare the infrastructure so that EPEL 10.1 content will start being built from RHEL 10.1. All these changes will be done in accordance to the defined SOP [0] If you have any questions, feel free to reply here or stop by the EPEL Matrix channel [1].
