Over the last 5 days, Troy Dawson, Jeroen van Meeuwen, Carl W George, and several helpers have gotten nearly all of the python34 packages moves over to python36 in EPEL-7. They are being included in 6 Bodhi pushes because of a limitation in Bodhi for the text size of packages in an include. The current day for these package groups to move into EPEL regular is April 2nd. We would like to have all tests we find in the next week or so also added so that the updates can occur in a large group without too much breakage. https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-EPEL-2019-f2d195dada https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-EPEL-2019-9e9f81e581 https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-EPEL-2019-0d62608bce https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-EPEL-2019-5be892b745 https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-EPEL-2019-0f4cca7837 https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-EPEL-2019-ed3564d906 Please heavily test them by doing the following: Stage 1 Testing Install RHEL, CentOS, or Scientific Linux 7 onto a TEST system. Install or enable the EPEL repository for this system Install various packages you would normally use yum --enablerepo=epel-testing update Report problems to epel-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Stage 2 Testing Check for any updated testing instructions on this blog or EPEL-devel list. Install RHEL, CentOS, or Scientific Linux 7 onto a TEST system. Install or enable the EPEL repository for this system yum install python34 yum --enablerepo=epel-testing update Report problems to epel-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Stage 3 Testing Check for any updated testing instructions on this blog or EPEL-devel list. Install RHEL, CentOS, or Scientific Linux 7 onto a TEST system. Install or enable the EPEL repository for this system yum install python36 yum --enablerepo=epel-testing update Report problems to epel-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx This should cover the three most common scenarios. Other scenarios exist and will require some sort of intervention to work around. We will outline them as they come up. Many Many Thanks go to Troy, Jeroen, Carl, and the many people on the python team who made a copr and did many of the initial patches to make this possible. -- Stephen J Smoogen. _______________________________________________ epel-announce mailing list -- epel-announce@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to epel-announce-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 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-announce@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
