Hello folks,
just a heads up that according to
https://access.redhat.com/support/policy/updates/rhel-app-streams-life-cycle#rhel8_application_streams
the Python 3.8 application stream will be retired in May 2023 (I suppose at the
end).
Yes, at the end of May.
For clarity, the content will still be available however it will no
longer be updated or supported.
Miro, do you have recommendations to the EPEL maintainers? E.g.
Upgrade to python39/python3.11, or use the system-level python?
Well, using the "system-level" Python is probably out of the question, I
suppose if that was possible, EPEL maintainers would do that in the first place.
If you chose 3.8 for you app because 3.6 was too old (e.g. the case of
git-revise), I suggest switching to 3.11 if possible (or at least to 3.9).
As for all the "library" packages, I have no idea what to recommend. I'd say
keeping them in the repos does not do much harm, considering that is what RHEL
is doing anyway.
However, I'd strongly advise against packaging new EPEL packages for Python 3.8.
