Hi Miro, I've taken a look, but haven't done any testing. EPEL6 patch - no. Even if it works, I'd say no. We're at the last 7 months before EOL and I don't want the EPEL6 stuff to have changes like this. I could be outvoted by this, but I believe most of the other EPEL packagers would feel this way. EPEL7 patch - This would require some testing. When we tried to turn on the python automatic-dependency checking, there were things that broke on EPEL7 so they never got implemented. What, or how they broke, I don't currently know. I just know that they did, and there wasn't a big enough demand to debug. As in zero demand. Nobody asked for it in EPEL7, only EPEL8. So I'm not even sure this would be worth the testing. Has anyone asked for this? EPEL8 patch - We've had requests to have EPEL8 be as close to Fedora, so I'm in favor of this. I'm pretty sure the %pycached shouldn't be a problem. What is %python supposed to resolve to? To me it looks like /usr/bin/python ... which there isn't any in RHEL8. And, I thought Fedora got rid of it also, in favor of specifically doing python2 or python3. Or did that change?
