EPEL Proposal #1: Rechartering
by Stephen John Smoogen 27 Feb '16

27 Feb '16

============ Background ============ So my time at FOSDEM was pretty much the following. Walk into the hall where the Fedora/CentOS tables were. Get met by someone who worked on or in EPEL. Try to have a conversation and find that it was too packed and loud there. Walk over to the coffee area and buy the person a coffee and listen. Finish conversation and walk back over to the table.. [take a break every now and then to use the restroom from drinking a 16 oz tea every 30 minutes.] This was a lot of conversations and they did all blur together after a while. [Using a technique I learned from Centos' Karanbir Singh at FOSDEM, I will bring a small notebook to the next conference and write down a problem per page per person. Then I can go back the next year and see if the problems are still there.] ========== Promises ========== While they all did blur, there were many similar questions from people that came up: * What are the promises that EPEL makes to its users? * Do those promises make sense? [Do we need to keep a package the same for 5+ years?] * Do we actually keep those promises? * Who thinks we should be keeping these promises that various people didn't feel were needed? * What promises can we make that make sense and that after ~8 years we feel we can reasonably keep? * Who do we need to make these promises to? As I said in the previous post, a lot of people felt that we had made promises of fixing and updating things in EPEL over the last 3 years but nothing really seemed to have changed. There are a lot of reasons for that (as in people say things and after a 20 hour flight have no idea what they said to looking at the promise and going "ok that is fine but who is going to do the work?" to "are we even allowed to change this?" The last point is to me an undercurrent of a lot of conversations in and around EPEL in the last 3 years. There is the feeling that we were chartered nearly 10 years ago to do certain things, and we should keep doing them because people depend on that. And it is true that some people do depend on it, but it seems increasingly that they either don't show up to help or are a smaller set of people than we realize. These questions and the problems above was a long discussion between Brian Stinson and me on Sunday evening. One of the circles that kept coming up was "Does EPEL need to be rechartered?" EPEL is a very old Fedora SIG, and it has gone through several incarnations in the last 8 years from when it had yearly elections for board members to when it ran without any leadership to its recent experimentation with a new steering committee. However during that time there have been many rules which it has tried to keep: 1. Do not do disruptive upgrades. Try to backport security fixes or do upgrades which do not change API/ABI issues. 2. Be prepared to support the same package for the life of an Enterprise Linux release. 3. Never replace or conflict with packages in the base Enterprise Linux. 4. They should never require manual updates or changes between updates. 5. Follow Fedora rules for bundling, licensing, and similar things. There are some promises some people feel like we have made also: 1. Packages will never disappear. [They don't disappear from Fedora 12 even if it is archived.. ] 2. Packages will work from EL-X.0 to EL-X.N. [EPEL will rebuild packages regularly to deal with any ABI items] 3. Packages are built against all of an Enterprise Linux 'base' (EG whatever is in CentOS/Scientific Linux base). In many cases those promises aren't kept now or when they are attempted to be kept are impossible to do. * Most software which uses a database back end requires schema updates ranging from dump/reload to long running change processes. * A lot of software rebases itself internally to the point that trying to backport a security fix usually requires a lot of coding skill in the package. * The Enterprise Linux lifetime has increased from 5 years to 10 years since EPEL started. While people were interested in supporting a package for 3-4 years.. doing so for 10 years is too much for a volunteer position. * The Enterprise Linux is not the same as it was in EL-3/4/5 where software versions were rarely 'rebased' to a newer release. Instead software would be recoded to work in the older software as much as possible. Currently in EL-7, the desktop and other parts of the OS were greatly updated between 7.1 and 7.2 with the idea that this will be the norm for all releases in order to keep the product relevant to the majority of users. From the above, 3 of the 5 promises are either too much to keep or haven't been kept in a long time. ============= What to Do? ============= Because we haven't been able to keep many promises, but feel like we should there seem to be a couple of options ahead: 1. Ignore and do nothing. I don't like the status-quo but I think it needs to be listed as something that can happen. 2. Try to keep the original charter and be a lot more picky about what is in EPEL so that we can meet those promises. 3. Figure out what we can do, and go to the appropriate Fedora body to recharter ourselves to meet those more reasonable goals. Now number 3 may seem to be busy work, but I have found for the conservative minded enterprise maintainer, it is very hard to give up doing something even if you are failing until you are told you can stop trying. It also makes it clearer to future people working on EPEL in 2024 what they are trying to solve and how to change when the world of 2024 needs different solutions. ============================= What would be in my charter ============================= 1. EPEL is run by the EPEL Steering Committee. They act as sub-equivalents to the Fedora Extras Steering Committee, Fedora Packaging Committee and Fedora Release Engineering. 2. Packages in EPEL will never replace or conflict with packages in the base Enterprise Linux. 3. Packages in EPEL will follow Fedora rules for bundling, licensing, and similar things. Exceptions to this will exist and will be documented in appropriate place. 4. EPEL release engineering can set up systems to rebase packages in regular intervals. [There are multiple ways of doing this that I will try to outline in other proposals this week.] 5. The only promise of a lifetime of a package is between dot releases of the Enterprise Linux. Maintainers should make an honest effort to support a package for the "life" of a sub-release (6.8->6.9) but no longer. 6. Packages in a dot release will not disappear during that time. There is no promise after that time. [If EPSco approves of a method that packages are regularly archived, then users can use that as a simpler method to get old packages.] 7. EPEL only supports the current dot release. If a package in EL-6.now works on 6.0.z that is great. If it doesn't, it is up to the user (and not the maintainer or EPEL) to deal with it. [Again if an archive method is setup, then those older versions would just be in something like /pub/archives/epel/epel-6.8/ or some similar setup] Those are my starting points for a rechartered EPEL. Please join in the discussion on the EPEL-devel mailing list. -- Stephen J Smoogen.

Virtual packages providing python2-*
by Jason L Tibbitts III 27 Feb '16

27 Feb '16

One annoying difference between packaging for Fedora and EPEL7 (and probably older) is the fact that Python packages in Fedora are required to provide "python2-foo" whereas many EL7 packages don't. This leads to ifdefs and unpleasantness, and kind of complicates our ability to hide some details behind macros. As I see it, the easiest way to hide this (besides RH maintainers updating those packages with the extra Provides:) is to add a bunch of empty packages named "python2-foo" which have nothing but a dependency on "python-foo". I can get a review process exception from FPC and script up the import of these things pretty trivially. The question is: would anyone object to this? Obviously we'll have to have some way of detecting any conflicts which might arise, which can be done pretty easily with some scripting. Even just getting python2-setuptools in would eliminate a lot of cruft. There are, I believe, 166 packages which might need this, though we don't have to add them all at once if that makes things more palatable. And if there's a need to discuss this at a meeting, could someone add it to the agenda (and remind me of the meeting time)? - J<

Old scl-utils packages?
by Dave Johansen 27 Feb '16

27 Feb '16

It looks like EPEL 5/6 have old versions of scl-utils. Those are probably added back at a point when the base OS didn't have them, but they are now older versions than what's available in the base OS. Should EPEL versions be removed? Dave

EPEL Proposal #3: EPEL Structured releases
by Stephen John Smoogen 25 Feb '16

25 Feb '16

============================================ EPEL Proposal #3: EPEL Structured releases ============================================ This started off as a a rawhide post, but I realized it needs to be its own post A staged/forked environment. This version is a lot more complicated and deals with extra release management. Currently, Red Hat does regular point releases (.1, .2, .3) of their main OS. In these point releases, various items get major updates or backports to bring new functionality to the base operating system. In this version, EPEL ties into this staged environment by using a similar method as Fedora does. Using a directory tree structure like: EPEL/archives/{5.x, 6.x, 7.x} EPEL/archives/updates/{5.x, 6.x, 7.x} EPEL/current/5 -> 5.11/ EPEL/current/5.11/{x86_64,ppc64,x86_32}/ EPEL/current/6 -> 6.7/ EPEL/current/7 -> 7.2/ EPEL/updates/5 -> 5.11/ EPEL/updates/6 -> 6.7/ EPEL/updates/7 -> 7.2/ EPEL/updates/testing/{blah, blah} EPEL/rawhide/{5, 6, 7} Then packages would be built in rawhide first. When a new release (say 7.2 to 7.3) occurs, then the builders rawhide trees are updated to the code in the latest. The packages are built against that and hopefully tested to see that they still work. Packagers should have been building any large changes they needed to make in the rawhide tree already but a last minute notification date is done. The go-live for this tree will be either when CentOS gets its build out of that tree or 30 days if CentOS is able to release sooner. On that date the rawhide trees will be branched to /EPEL/current/{6,7}.n (eg 7.3) and updates to those packages will now be sent into EPEL/updates/7.3 . After another 30 days, the 7.2 tree will be moved to EPEL/archives/7.2 {probably really /pub/archives/epel/7.2 } Pros: this gives a place where newer packages can be built and tested to see what may break in the next major build. it also gives a better release cycle that people can plan against. Cons: this makes the previous post look simple to implement. -- Stephen J Smoogen.
