To reiterate what was said: There will be no further updates to the
python-passlib package which lives in the EPEL repo for EL7.
Is that correct? Thanks.
The terms 'further updates' can mean different things in this context
so I will try to clarify even further.
A. Further updates means moving it to a version newer than what is in
RHEL. The answer here is no as EPEL does not replace packages that Red
Hat ships in the base OS, Extras, and HA channels.
B. Further updates means moving it up to the version that is in RHEL
but not replacing it. That is up to the maintainer. They can either do
so or we can retire it since it will cause build problems.
C. Further updates means removing it from EPEL. This is probably the
most likely scenario.
