It's not possible to build packages within EPEL that have hard dependencies on the ruby193 SCL. Without the legwork to get all of that into EPEL, we'd just have some RPMs in yet another side repo. To me, that feels like a step backwards when koji-web is already present in Fedora and EPEL. - Ken -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
