Thanks for your help, I'll request packages like xmlstarlet. For docbook-utils-pdf, I don't understand why redhat did drop it, and I wonder how can EPEL publish only the missing part without breakage if redhat updates the 1st half. Anyway, I'll also request it. Aside that, I'll try to learn and understand how I can migrate my docbook sgml files to more modern techno. For perl-QT, Fedora-30 still ships it: https://pkgs.org/download/perl-Qt (v4.14.3-17), but I know it's not well maintained. In fact, I'm in the process of removing all scripting language like perl, python and such from SystemImager keeping only bash code (wich is rock solid across ages) as those language (perl, python, lua, ...) are not stable in the long term (need often port at each release, libraries change or obsolecences, ...). Even the shebang is not consistent across distros. Now, #!/usr/bin/python is broken on rhel-8/centos-8 which doesn't provide a compatibility link. Olivier.

EPEL did not drop anything. EPEL for a new RHEL always starts with an empty repository.

It requires other libraries that cannot be even built and many distributions including Fedora and Debian removed it. Please use a different GUI toolkit. -- Petr _______________________________________________ epel-devel mailing list -- epel-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to epel-devel-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-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
