https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL/Changes/Release_based_package_lifetimes
== Summary ==
The change moves expected package lifetime to that of a Red Hat
Enterprise Linux minor release.
== Owner ==
* Name: [[User:smooge|Stephen Smoogen]]
* Email: smooge(a)gmail.com
== Detailed Description ==
Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux is a sub-project of Fedora which
recompiles various Fedora packages against various Red Hat Enterprise
Linux releases. When EPEL was started, RHEL lifetimes were 5 years and
it was thought that the repository could have similarly long
lifetimes. Major rebasing of versions were not to be allowed, and fast
moving software was frowned on.
Over time, the lifetime of a RHEL release grew, and the way RHEL
releases rebased themselved overtime also changed. This has meant that
packagers in EPEL were bound to support software longer than RHEL did
and unable to rebase like RHEL could.
The current proposal is closely linked to release based composes but
does not depend on it. The changes are as follows:
Packagers commit to maintaining software in EPEL for at least one RHEL
minor release or 13 months, whichever is shorter. If a packager needs
to stop maintaining the software, they should do the following
* announce on epel-devel list that they are no longer able to
maintain the package and give the reasons. If someone can take it
over they can do so here.
* release one final version with an additional file named
'README-RETIRED.txt' in the %docs section which says this software
is retired.
* wait until that package arrives in updates.
* let the EPEL release manager know that the package needs to be
retired for the next release.
Otherwise the latest update of the package will be retagged for the
next compose of EPEL and will appear without problems.
If the situation requires a major ABI/API change (security, a new
minor compose occurs, a new LTS package is released) a packager should
announce to epel-devel and put in a ticket in the epel pagure instance
to track. Updates can then be made and will show up in either
/updates/ or the next major.minor compose.
== Benefit to Fedora ==
* Packagers will feel more likely to make their packages available in
EPEL.
* Users of EPEL will have more software and know it is being kept up.
== Scope ==
* Other developers:
* Policies and guidelines: The above need to be coded clearer
* Trademark approval: N/A
== Known Change Impacts ==
== How To Test ==
== User Experience ==
== Contingency Plan ==
* Contingency mechanism: (What to do? Who will do it?)
* Contingency deadline:
* Blocks release?
* Blocks product?
== Release Notes ==

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL/Changes/Minor_release_based_composes
== Summary ==
The change moves EPEL composes to biannual based composes and adds an
updates tree for consumers. Package trees will have a naming structure
similar to Fedora release names, and will be regularly archived off to
/pub/archives after the next minor release.
Package lifetimes will be similarly affected with the expected minimum
'support' lifetime of any package to be that of a minor release.

== Detailed Description ==
Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux is a sub-project of Fedora which
recompiles various Fedora packages against various Red Hat Enterprise
Linux releases. Currently these packages are composed by the Fedora
release engineering tools similar to Fedora Rawhide where only the
latest packages tagged for a particular EPEL release (example epel-7)
appear. When a package is updated or retired, the older version falls
out of the EPEL repositories and users can not downgrade to older
versions.
The tree structure would look like the follows
/pub/epel/releases/Major.Minor.YYYYMM/{Stuff,Modular}/{x86_64,ppc64le,aarch64,s390x,source}/{Packages,repodata}
/pub/epel/updates/Major.Minor.YYYYMM/{Stuff,Modular}/{x86_64,ppc64le,aarch64,s390x,source}/{Packages,repodata}
with 2 sets of symlinks pointing to the latest supported tree:
Examples:
/pub/epel/releases/7.06.201903/Stuff/x86_64/Packages/
/pub/epel/releases/8.00.2019MM/Modular/source/Packages/
/pub/epel/updates/7.06.201903/Stuff/aarch64/Packages/
/pub/epel/updates/8.00.2019MM/Modular/s390x/Packages/
/pub/epel/releases/7 -> /pub/epel/updates/7.06.201903
/pub/epel/updates/7 -> /pub/epel/updates/7.06.201903
The proposed change will move EPEL minor releases to match with Red
Hat minor releases. As of 2019-02-10, Red Hat has Red Hat Enterprise
Linux 7.6 in Full Support/Maintenance mode and has released a beta for
RHEL-8. With the change, EPEL would compose a special set of trees for
March 2019 and then all updates for those packages would go into the
appropriate /updates/ sub-tree.
When the next minor release is released from Red Hat, a new compose
tag will be made in koji. Packages which are not retired will then be
pulled into the tag, and proven packagers can stage any mass rebuilds
needed for rebases. When testing shows that this tree is ready, the
symlinks will then be moved to the new tree, and the old tree will be
prepared to move over to /pub/archives
Packages which are added to EPEL after a major.minor compose will only
show up in the /updates/ tree until the next major.minor compose. This
is the same as packages in Fedora.
Due to the fact that RHEL-6 has only a year and a half of Maintenance
mode, we are not looking at making changes unless it turns out that we
have to.
== Benefit to Fedora ==
* Users are able to downgrade to an earlier version if an update has
issues for them
* Packages will less likely break for Scientific Linux and CentOS
users during minor updates.
* Packages will be regularly archived off to /pub/archives/epel/ and
consumers will less likely pull large number of old packages out of
koji looking for older software.
== Scope ==
* Proposal owners:
** Add koji tags for date releases
** Write scripts for releng to make new releases
* Other developers:
* Policies and guidelines:
* Trademark approval: N/A
== Known Change Impacts ==
Users who have hard-coded repositories or mirror specific directory
changes may have a 'broken' experience due to symlink changes.
Archives will grow every 6 months as packages are put there regularly.
== How To Test ==
We will stage this set of changes in /pub/alt/epel before rolling out
to the main EPEL. Users wishing to test this can set up systems that
will point to this tree using a temporary .repo file to be provided
for testing.
== User Experience ==
User's should be able to do the following:
* yum install package-name
* yum upgrade package-name
* yum downgrade package-name
== Contingency Plan ==
* Contingency mechanism: (What to do? Who will do it?) If testing
shows this proposal to fail we will not release.
* Contingency deadline: 2019-04-01
* Blocks release? No (we don't do releases yet).
* Blocks product? Yes
== Release Notes ==
