Dear all,

zeek, an open source network security monitoring tool, has an out of date version, 4.2.0 packaged for EPEL 8 and 9: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/zeek/

It was also never built for Fedora.

Per upstream documentation, https://github.com/zeek/zeek/wiki/Release-Cadence#types-of-releases

- LTS releases (x.0.z) are made every year - LTS releases are supported until the first feature release after the following LTS ((x+1).1.0) - or roughly four months after the next LTS

6.0.0 just came out at the end of May.

Since the Fedora branches are currently unused, my plan is: - use them to track feature releases (currently 6.0.0) - update EPEL 8 and 9 to track 6.0.z - for future updates, keep EPEL branches on the current LTS until it goes out of support, then do an incompatible upgrade to the next LTS - for new EPEL branches, start off with the last LTS build in rawhide (e.g. 6.0.3) and update it to the latest patch release in the same major version (e.g. 6.0.5)

This is just a heads up right now, I plan to do a build for Rawhide tomorrow, and based on discussion here an update for EPEL 8/9 will, or will not, be built next week.

Best regards,
