Hello, I have a question regarding packaging for EPEL. Fedora renamed perl package to perl-interpreter package and changed all the occurances in all spec files. Because there are package maintainers who share spec files between Fedora and EPEL, I added the perl-interpreter package to EPEL. Later RHEL-7.6 updated perl to provide perl-interpreter (as a RPM Provides, not as a real package), so the perl-interpreter package in EPEL is not needed anymore. Now the next step is removing perl-interpreter from EPEL as requested in a bug #1663304. That seems reasonable because EPEL should not deliver things provided by RHEL. However, my concern is people who did not upgrade RHEL to 7.6. If I remove perl-interpreter from EPEL, it could break their systems. What does an EPEL community recommend? -- Petr
