I'm also late to the party with this feedback, but just in case it's not too late to include, can we include something about not updating the package further? Beyond just "you do not need to take any action", we should advise against making any changes at that point, as often the RHEL package will be exactly one release higher than the current EPEL package, and updating the EPEL package further (either release or version) will screw up the upgrade path.

It sometimes also happens when the EPEL package is a dependency of the important package, the customers aren't actually asking for the EPEL package. > It looks like this change still hasn't been merged in so I'll see if I can get a change in.

Thank you for your work maintaining <package> in EPEL <major>. Red Hat considers this package important enough to promote it to official RHEL. It will be part of RHEL <major>.<minor>. When that is released, EPEL automation will remove <package> from EPEL <major> and close this bug. > > _______________________________________________ > 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 > Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue -- Carl George _______________________________________________ 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 Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
