From the name I would expect it to, but reading that doc makes me think %generate_buildrequires *is* python specific. If so, the name is misleading. (I am also confused/suspicious of the point of a macro to automate build requires, except as a step on a path to somewhere else. If build requirements need to be stated explicitly, then automating their statement is a good way of hiding an issue that needs to be reviewed whenever changes are made. ) -- Andrew C.

How to support python 3.8 from RHEL 8.2 in EPEL?
by Orion Poplawski 04 Mar '22

04 Mar '22

Folks - Looks like RHEL 8.2 will have python 3.8 in addition to python 3.6. From the 8.2 beta: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 for x86_64 - AppStream Beta (RPMs) Name Stream Profiles Summary python27 2.7 [d][e] common [d] Python programming language, version 2.7 python36 3.6 [d][e] build, common [d] Python programming language, version 3.6 python38 3.8 [d][e] build, common [d] Python programming language, version 3.8 Currently, %python_pkgversion is set to 3 in /usr/lib/rpm/macros.d/macros.python-srpm from python-srpm-macros. python3-devel is still provided only by python36-devel, so presumably all EPEL8 python packages will continue to be built against python 3.6. But I imagine that people will soon be asking for python 3.8 versions of EPEL packages. How can we provide those? Does this have to be done in some modular fashion - which seems to come back to the discussion of whether or not every package has to become its own module or whether to group them together somehow. Or since both python modules are "default" modules and we can install both python36-devel and python38-devel at the same time, perhaps we can define the python3_other* macros again for python38 and just go that way? Thoughts? -- Orion Poplawski Manager of NWRA Technical Systems 720-772-5637 NWRA, Boulder/CoRA Office FAX: 303-415-9702 3380 Mitchell Lane orion(a)nwra.com Boulder, CO 80301 https://www.nwra.com/

proposed recommendation - missing devel packages
by Troy Dawson 23 Sep '21

23 Sep '21

I believe this is a recommendation, versus a policy. I wanted to get people's thoughts on it, and if ya'll like it, put it in the documentation. ---- In Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 8, Red Hat decided to not ship all packages that are built from RHEL spec files. This will also be true of RHEL 9, and possibly future RHEL releases. These missing packages are usually -devel packages and may impact an EPEL package build. If your EPEL package is impacted by a missing -devel package, do the following. 1 - Request the package be added to RHEL 8 and 9 CRB repository. -- To initiate this process, please file a bug in https://bugzilla.redhat.com and request it be added to RHEL 8 and 9. Report the bug against the "CentOS Stream" version of the "Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8" and/or "Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9" product. -- Be sure to say that it is impacting an EPEL build, and which package it is impacting. 2 - Create an epel package that only has the missing packages. -- Be prepared to maintain this package as long as it is needed. -- It is recommended that you name it <package>-epel -- It is recommended that you add the epel-packaging-sig group as a co-maintainer -- It qualifies for an exception to the review process[1] so you can request the repo with --- fedpkg request-repo --exception <package>-epel -- If you need help building this, ask for help. We have some examples. 3 - When/If the missing package(s) are added to RHEL CRB, retire your -epel package. --- Sorry, this is a little rushed. I wanted to get something out sooner, rather than later. Troy [1] - https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/ReviewGuidelines/… - Third bullet point

Hi all, I have a COPR containing xfce 4.16 packages for EPEL-8 packages [0]. I would like to get some testing done using this COPR before getting into EPEL-8. Please email if and when you notice problems and I will try to fix it as soon as possible. As a reminder - xfce 4.16 will be available in F34. Thanks, Mukundan.

Re: Updated KDE Plasma Desktop ready for testing on CentOS Stream 8
by Troy Dawson 28 Jul '21

First off, thank you very much for that. That is perhaps the best "Here is my environment" anyone has ever sent me. The problem is that you don't have the epel-next repo anywhere. At the very least you need to have "epel-next-release" in kickstarts/8/base.ks If you wanted the newer kde packages installed during install you need to add the epel-next repo to kickstarts/8/base-repo.ks I believe it should be repo --name=epel-next --mirrorlist= https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=epel-next-$releasever&arch=… or possibly just repo --name=epel-next --mirrorlist= https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=epel-next-$releasever&arch=… Hope this helps.

It is supposed to be layered on top of the regular epel repository because it doesn't have all the epel packages. epel-next builds off centos-stream instead of RHEL, like regular epel does. It only has those packages that need to be rebuilt in stream due to some library or version update. In this case, qt5 was updated in stream from 5.12 to 5.15, thus all the kde desktop needed to be rebuilt (and we updated kde as well). Once RHEL 8.5 is released, I will rebuild all those packages on normal epel8 and we won't need them in the epel-next repository. If you are running centos-stream, and do a dnf install epel-release you should automatically get epel-next-release. But it looks like if you are doing a kickstart install, that doesn't work, so it will have to be listed. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL_Next Thanks, > Simon > > > At the very least you need to have "epel-next-release" in > > kickstarts/8/base.ks > > If you wanted the newer kde packages installed during install you need to > > add the epel-next repo to kickstarts/8/base-repo.ks > > I believe it should be > > repo --name=epel-next --mirrorlist= > > > https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=epel-next-$releasever&arch=… > > or possibly just > > repo --name=epel-next --mirrorlist= > > > https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=epel-next-$releasever&arch=… > > > > Hope this helps. > > Troy > > > > On Wed, Jul 28, 2021 at 3:13 AM Massi aka Ergosum > > <massi.ergosum(a)gmail.com> > > wrote: > > > >> Il giorno mar 27 lug 2021 alle ore 17:24 Troy Dawson > >> <tdawson(a)redhat.com> ha scritto: > >> > > >> > I've been able to install, and update all of the packages listed here. > >> > So, unless you are able to give more details about how your machine is > >> setup, there isn't much I can help with. > >> > > >> > >> A "fresh install" means an image build using the following kickstarts: > >> [1] > >> [2]. > >> I'm using repos listed here [3]. > >> > >> I'm still investigating, but I suspect I'm not using the latest > >> versions. > >> > >> Thanks > >> Massimiliano > >> > >> [1] https://github.com/mbugni/centos-remix > >> [2] > >> > https://github.com/mbugni/centos-remix/blob/master/kickstarts/8/l10n/kde-wo… > >> [3] > >> > https://github.com/mbugni/centos-remix/blob/master/kickstarts/8/base-repo.ks > >> _______________________________________________ > >> kde mailing list -- kde(a)lists.fedoraproject.org > >> To unsubscribe send an email to kde-leave(a)lists.fedoraproject.org > >> Fedora Code of Conduct: > >> https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ > >> List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines > >> List Archives: > >> > https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/kde@lists.fedoraproject.org > >> Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: > >> https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure > >> > > _______________________________________________ > > CentOS-devel mailing list > > CentOS-devel(a)centos.org > > https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-devel > > > > > _______________________________________________ > CentOS-devel mailing list > CentOS-devel(a)centos.org > https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-devel > >
