New EPEL KDE Proposal
by Troy Dawson 20 Jan '23

20 Jan '23

I plan on making two changes to the current EPEL KDE Update Schedule.[1] ** First: EPEL 8 KDE Plasma Desktop is going to stay at the releases that they currently are at. We will backport major security fixes. Bugs and bugfixes will be best effort. But we will not do any across the board updates. This is due to the older libraries in RHEL 8. We've hit the limit that the newer KDE versions can run on the older libraries. EPEL 8 will have these versions (with a few exceptions) plasma - 5.24 kf5 - 5.96 kde apps - 22.04 / 21.12 / 21.08 and some 21.04 qt5 - 5.15 **Second: We will do the across the board updates to the main epel branches [2] every six months instead of once a year. They will coincide with each RHEL minor release, instead of every other RHEL minor release. With the last release, we found that KDE packages like to build on themselves. Meaning that some 22.04 packages needed a previous version of at least 21.08 to build. That was fine on epel-next where we had updated each six months. But when we tried to build on plain epel8 or epel9, things got complicated. Doing a release every six months will allow users to get the newer updates faster. And although it sounds counter-intuitive, it will save the maintainers time. We haven't officially made this change yet. So if anyone sees any issues and/or problems. Please let us know. Thank You Troy Dawson Fedora KDE SIG [1] - https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SIGs/KDE/EPEL#Update_Schedule [2] - Currently epel9, but epel10 when it comes out

by Stephen Smoogen 10 Jan '23

10 Jan '23

lanned Outage - IAD2 Outage - 2022-12-08 19:00 UTC There will be an outage starting at 2022-12-08 19:00 UTC, which will last approximately 4 hours. To convert UTC to your local time, take a look at http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Infrastructure/UTCHowto or run: date -d '2022-12-08 19:00 UTC' Reason for outage: There will be a multi hour outage as a hardware firewall is changed out of the IAD2 data center where most Fedora systems are housed. Outages should be in short cycles as the firewall is changed over to new hardware and rules are tested and confirmed. Affected Services: Most Fedora and CentOS Services will be affected Build systems for s390x will need to be restarted as NFS will break Builds in CentOS Stream and other infrastructure will be blocked during this time. Ticket Link: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/issue/NNNN Please join #fedora-admin or #fedora-noc on irc.libera.chat or add comments to the ticket for this outage above. -- Stephen Smoogen, Red Hat Automotive Let us be kind to one another, for most of us are fighting a hard battle. -- Ian MacClaren
