Mock/Copr default epel-8-* configuration to be changed
by Pavel Raiskup 29 Jul '25

29 Jul '25

Hello Fedora EPEL maintainers! First I don't feel comfortable announcing this, I'm not happy about the situation and so I don't want to be the lightning rod :-). But I believe that we can come to acceptable Copr/Mock solution and this needs to be discussed... so here we are. By the end of the year 2021 we have to fix our default EPEL 8 Mock configuration (mock-core-configs.rpm, /etc/mock/epel-8-*.cfg) as CentOS 8 goes EOL by then. The same thing needs to happen in Fedora Copr, with the epel-8-* chroots (side note, in Fedora Copr we use the mock-core-configs package for builds without any deployment specific modifications). I am proposing (as PR against mock upstream ATM [1]) to switch the default epel-* configuration from CentOS+EPEL to RHEL+EPEL as soon as possible (see the pull request [1]). This would bring some consequences, namely newly with epel-8* chroots, - builds will require a valid Red Hat subscription (the no-cost variant is OK as well, though [2]) - we will miss some build-time packages that Red Hat is not shipping, at least at the beginning till they are added (to RHEL CRB, or other currently unknown place). - cross-arch compilation can not be used, Red Hat subscriptions don't allow that (using QEMU and rpm --forcearch), [3] The positive thing is that the default configuration will be much closer to the official EPEL builds (because Fedora Koji EPEL builds are actually done also against RHEL). For the Fedora Copr builders, we already have the necessary Red Hat subscriptions in hand (will be deployed by the end of the year). So we will only loose the opportunity to build on emulated epel-8-armhfp permanently, and epel-8-s390x temporarily (as we already work on the native s390x support). Any thoughts? Feedback is needed here.

Copr Modularity, the End of an Era
by Jakub Kadlcik 23 Oct '24

23 Oct '24

Hello everybody, I'd like to announce that all Modularity features in Copr (except for module hotfixes) are now deprecated, and we have a plan to slowly remove them from our codebase. For more reasoning and the retirement schedule, please read my blog post - https://frostyx.cz/posts/copr-modularity-the-end-of-an-era I will personally reach out to everybody who has submitted a module build in Copr in the last two years and make sure they don't rely on this functionality.
