Fine by me. > * Would we want to maintain a bodhi2 compat package for EPEL 7, > analagous to the bodhi3 compat package we made for Fedora? I guess the question is are there any bodhi2 servers running on EL7 out there? Probably won't know until someone screams. I wouldn't add it unless someone complains. > * What about EPEL 6?

EPEL 6 does have python 3.4, I would just let that rot as is. -- Orion Poplawski Manager of NWRA Technical Systems 720-772-5637 NWRA, Boulder/CoRA Office FAX: 303-415-9702 3380 Mitchell Lane orion@xxxxxxxx Boulder, CO 80301 https://www.nwra.com/
