We will hopefully be able to update it to 5.18 within a month. _______________________________________________ epel-announce mailing list -- epel-announce@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to epel-announce-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 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/epel-announce@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
