EPEL Playground - Policy and Plans

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



EPEL playground (currently only for epel8) has recently changed it's overall policy.  That new policy can be found here.
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL/Playground

The biggest policy change is that epel-playground is not meant to be a stand-alone repository.  If you use epel-playground, you are expected to have the regular epel repository enabled.

Going along with that stand-alone change is the change that we will no longer be auto-building all epel builds in playground.  This means that all instances of package.cfg will be removed, new epel branches will not have package.cfg in them, and requesting an epel branch will not automatically request a epel-playground branch.

We will also be cleaning up (untagging) all automatically built, or old, playground packages.

Not everything is happening at once.

SCHEDULE:
* Thursday September 24 - All package.cfg files will be removed from all epel8 dist-git branches.  If you want to remove yours before then, that is fine.
* Thursday October 1 - All automatically built, or old playground packages will be untagged from epel-playground.
* Done (but not verified) - New epel8 branches should not have package.cfg in them.
* Sometime Soon - fedpkg will be updated to not automatically request a epel-playground branch each time an epel branch is requested. https://pagure.io/fedpkg/issue/414

We appreciate all the input we've gotten from everyone.
Please pass this information on wherever you feel it is needed.
