I seem to remember that for EL-7 we generally just branched the f19 packages for epel7, rebuilt and that was pretty much it. That's not going to work for EL-8, which looks like it's going to need significant investments in modules. For instance, there are a large number of perl module packages in EPEL-7, which would need rebuilding for both perl 5.24 and perl 5.26 as both versions are available as modules in EL-8 beta. Or do we just support the default perl stack? Does everything go in one perl module or is there a hierarchy? Similar could apply for libraries and the applications that require them - how is the module hierarchy going to be defined? Separate libraries and application modules, or libraries bundled with applications? Or take it on a case by case basis? I'm very much new to modularity myself and haven't got my head round what I think would be the best approach yet.
