The EOL of any EPEL repository is the "public" lifetime of an upstream Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Public currently means when a RHEL is in Production Level 1,2 or 3. It does not cover when the product is in what is currently known as Extended User Support. [I use currently because this email may be read 4-10 years from now and those terms may have been relabeled.] 2. The EOL of a package in an EPEL repository is set by the maintainer(s) of that package. They can orphan or remove a package at their discretion and the package will be removed soon afterwords. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux https://access.redhat.com/solutions/690063 > > For example, RHEL 6 EOL is 2020-11-30 so EPEL-6 EOL is also 2020-11-30. > > However, I can’t find this clearly documented anywhere. > > > > I found historical information which backs up my understanding, for example > for EPEL-5: https://www.spinics.net/linux/fedora/epel-devel/msg00956.html > > > > But I can’t find any official document which lays it out clearly. > > > > Can somebody point me to something which spells out the EOL date for EPEL-6 > and EPEL-7? > > Or at least the relationship between EPEL EOLs and RHEL EOLs. > > > > Thanks! > > David > > > _______________________________________________ > epel-devel mailing list -- epel-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > To unsubscribe send an email to epel-devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > -- Stephen J Smoogen. _______________________________________________ epel-devel mailing list -- epel-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to epel-devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
