Does EPEL 9 maintain upgrade path from EPEL 8?

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

 



Hello,

I have a Fedora package that I've recently also branched for EPEL 9.

The (so called) binary package used to be called "python3-tox", but has been renamed to "tox" in Fedora 34. All supported Fedora versions and EPEL 9 have the package named as "tox". The package has:

    %py_provides    python3-tox
    # Remove this once Fedora 36 goes EOL:
    Obsoletes:      python3-tox < 3.24.4-2

However, the EPEL 8 package is still called python3-tox.

Once I remove the Obsoletes line from Fedora, should I worry about merging that commit to the epel9 branch or not? Logic dictates that the Obsolete should remain in EPEL 9 forever, but I wonder if there is a policy/rule of thumb. E.g. in Fedora, we only support upgrades to Fedora N+2. Do we support upgrades of EL+EPEL systems as well and how "far"?
