Since I heard several requests about that, I will try to enable EPEL 7 (in staging for now). If it goes well then we can think about enabling EPEL 6 or Fedora branches too. > Is there any reason these days not to enable it? There are some complains about Koschei's usage of Koji, so I wanted to be very careful with that. But recently, thanks to Ralph Bean, a Koji feature was implemented [1] that should help mitigating the biggest problem I heard of. > Perhaps we could look into just mass enabling it for all packages now? Perhaps yes, but... Some people are not interested in Koschei at all. It has been in production for almost a year (and a few months more in Fedora cloud), but less than 1/3 packages are enabled [2]. Maybe it's a problem of awareness? I don't think we want to waste resources on rebuilding packages that no one wants to have in Koschei. Any packager, not only maintainer, can toggle Koschei flag in pkgdb2, so if someone wants they can just do it. [1] https://pagure.io/koji/pull-request/77 [2] As of time of wringing this, there are 22,030 packages (including retired and EPEL-only packages). 6,197 packages are enabled in Koschei. -- Mikolaj Izdebski Software Engineer, Red Hat IRC: mizdebsk -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.fedoraproject.org/admin/lists/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
