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 The old Mono 2.10 packages have been totally outdated, and I wonder if they still have been used at all.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].
