But many packages I use regularly are from EPEL.
When can we expect EPEL 8 Beta/Alpha?

I seem to remember that for EL-7 we generally just branched the f19 packages for epel7, rebuilt and that was pretty much it.
That's not going to work for EL-8, which looks like it's going to need significant investments in modules. For instance, there are a large number of perl module packages in EPEL-7, which would need rebuilding for both perl 5.24 and perl 5.26 as both versions are available as modules in EL-8 beta. Or do we just support the default perl stack? Does everything go in one perl module or is there a hierarchy?
Similar could apply for libraries and the applications that require them - how is the module hierarchy going to be defined? Separate libraries and application modules, or libraries bundled with applications? Or take it on a case by case basis?
I'm very much new to modularity myself and haven't got my head round what I think would be the best approach yet.
Paul.

I thought it was more of an "opt-in" situation, that packages that had a EL -1 branch didn't automatically get an EL new branch?
I would definitely like the opportunity to do some major version upgrades of some of the packages I maintain.
Thanks, Richard

It was mostly opt-in as I recall it, but some packages got EPEL branches for the first time as they were needed as dependencies. Anyone packaging for EPEL-8 should of course be free to choose whichever version of their package is best suited to it; I think f19 was the latest at the time of the EL7 beta release when a lot of stuff got built.

Hi All,
Probably you already know this.
