When EPEL-8 was launched, it came with some support for modules with the hope
that a module ecosystem could be built from Fedora packages using RHEL modules
as an underlying tool. This has never happened and we have ended up with a
muddle of modular packages which will 'build' but may not install or even run
on an EL-8 system. Attempts to fix this and work within how EPEL is normally
built have been tried for several years by different people but have not worked.
At this point it is time to say this experiment with modules in EPEL has not
worked and focus resources on what does work. I would like to propose that
modular support is removed from EPEL by January 2023.
Steps:
1. Approval of this proposal by the EPEL Steering committee and any other ones
required.
2. Announcement of end of life to various lists.
3. Archiving of the modules on XYZ date to /pub/archive/epel/8.YYYY-MM/Modular
and pointing mirrormanager to that for that
4. Make changes in bodhi to turn off reporting about modules for EL8.
5. Make changes in MBS configs to turn off building modules for EL8.
6. Make changes in PDC for EL8 modules
7. Make changes in compose scripts and tools to no longer cover EPEL-8 modules
8. Remove epel-8 modules from /pub/epel/8
9. Announce closure of this proposal and any lessons learned.
10. Drop
