Hey Folks,

I have a goal to get Kepler installable from EPEL but I’m wondering about some guidelines here. Upstream is only producing a container, and their RPMs simply install a systemd unit that pulls their container from quay.io http://quay.io/

I am guessing you are meaning https://sustainable-computing.io/ or something similar which is a prometheus plugin. Going from my recent attempts at working this.. making it into an RPM will need a strong familiarity with the Golang packaging guidelines and a strong stomach for dealing with vendor-the-universe-to-get-a-2-line-code-snippet. It also looks like it needs eBPF and some other items for the kernel space.

I don't have much input outside of that.. my initial take is that it is a tall ask to get it into EPEL so good luck

Apart from the number of Golang deps, it doesn't seem too onerous. They even have a Makefile target to build just the binary and a spec file:
