Why Redhat and Fedora create rpms differently

by Code Zombie

Hi Just trying to get started with packaging. I started with a pretty big app, and looking through tutorials, it seems Fedora and Redhat use different ways to create rpms. I am a bit confused, seems complicated. Which one will work on Fedora? Some mentioned docs : Fedora: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/quick-docs/creating-rpm-packages/ Redhat: https://developers.redhat.com/blog/2019/03/18/rpm-packaging-guide-creatin... I think it would be nice if the example apps were more realistic, e.g. considering dependencies, etc. Best regards Mehdi

EPEL-8 branches requests being rejected

by Michal Ruprich

Hi, I am trying to request epel-8 branch for rsh package but the request is always closed as invalid with this explanation: "The branch in PDC already exists". I have no idea what that means. I simply cannot find the epel-8 branch anywhere. Could anyone explain this and ideally point me in the right direction as to where I can find the branch? Thanks and regards. -- Michal Ruprich Software Engineer Email: mruprich(a)redhat.com Web: www.cz.redhat.com Red Hat Czech s.r.o., Purkyňova 115, 612 00, Brno, Czech Republic

Re: [fedora-java] Re: Switching Maven and Ant to OpenJDK 11

Not *all* builds available at AdoptOpenJDK are being built by Red Hat's OpenJDK team. The builds in question done by us are these specifically: https://adoptopenjdk.net/upstream.html Other builds available via the widgets on the landing page[1] are being built on AdoptOpenJDK infra from upstream sources (which they mirror) and some additional (optional) patches on top. Thanks, Severin [1] https://adoptopenjdk.net/

Self Introduction: David McCheyne

by David W McCheyne

Hello all. New at packaging, here's my first review request: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1766375 I recently started a new DevOps Engineer job at a company that pushes a lot back out to the community, so this is my first contribution while I learn the process. Most of my past experience is in automation stacks, and python development as well as general Linux SysAdmin stuff. I plan to try and contribute some other python libraries in the future that I'm personally enthusiastic about, and anything we generate in the office we can contribute back as well. Cheers! David

It is very unhelpful. > Okay, sure, paid support continues for two more years, but general (freely available) support for Java 8 ended in January. For most of us peons, general support EOL is functionally equivalent to full EOL. That's why we end EPEL support on general support EOL dates, and not the more nebulous LTSS EOL dates. -- 真実はいつも一つ！/ Always, there's only one truth!
