The logfile now has the timestamps in ISO 8601 format rather than apache-like so if any parsing or logstash tools are being used against the rsnapshot logs they will need to be updated to account for this

Major Mono update for EL7
by Timotheus Pokorra 17 Nov '16

17 Nov '16

Hello, As previously agreed on epel-devel and by the EPEL Steering Committee, I have pushed the Mono 4.2 packages and packages depending on it to epel-testing on EL7. These updates will sit in epel-testing for a significant period of time to allow adequate notice and time for testing. I hope to push them to stable at around the time when CentOS 7.3 is released. The old Mono 2.10 packages have been totally outdated, and I wonder if they still have been used at all. If you still have your own software running with Mono 2.x, and have problems rebuilding towards Mono 4, let me know. We have been through that for quite a number of packages for Fedora 23, and most issues can be solved... Please do test thoroughly, give positive/negative karma, and open bug reports. Thank you, Timotheus

Backwards incompatible Bodhi update for EPEL 7
by Randy Barlow 20 Oct '16

20 Oct '16

Hello! As per the EPEL incompatible upgrades policy[0], I am writing you to announce a backwards incompatible Bodhi update that I've submitted to Bodhi for EPEL 7[1]. Since Bodhi is primarily a Fedora Infrastructure tool and is extremely specific to the Fedora project, it is likely that only bodhi-client users will be affected by this change. This version of the bodhi client is a rewrite from what is currently in EPEL 7, and the CLI flags and general usage are different. There is a man page for the new client that describes its new flags and commands[3]. Please do test the package and report karma. Thanks! The EPEL steering committee approved this change[2].

python34 in testing for EPEL6
by Tim Orling 19 Oct '16

19 Oct '16

I came across a need for python34 in CentOS 6.8 and decided to go ahead and package it for EL6 (SCLs were already available). I have also packaged a number of other python3 modules, which are also in testing. If you are interested, please take a moment to review: https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/users/ttorling Any testing and karma is much appreciated. --Tim (Intel) P.S. A big Thank You to orionp for the original python34 patch and for answering many questions during the process.

New rsnapshot build for EPEL in testing
by Steven Roberts 18 Oct '16

18 Oct '16

EPEL packages for a new rsnapshot version (1.4.2) have been built and are available in testing. There are many bug fixed in this release. From upstream the config file should be comptabile with the existing 1.3.1 currently in EPEL. However given new upstream maintainer/hosting, it was about seven years between upstream releases, and rsnapshot is used for things like backups, we are taking extra caution with this release. So we are emailing this list to get extra notice and we are planning on at least 4 weeks in testing and hoping to get some good testing and karma reflected (in bodhi) before moving to push to stable. the bugzilla bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1375289 the bodhi links for each EPEL version: EL5: https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-EPEL-2016-a017ef5480 EL6: https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-EPEL-2016-5a39cec441 EL7: https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-EPEL-2016-91b8d9eccc Also, thanks to new co-maintener for the rsnapshot package James Hogarth for getting the actually mods, builds put together. Regards, Steven Roberts
