Hi,

In reaction on the request for testing armhfp epel packages  in the blog post of Pablo i'd like to know how/where feedback/results can be reported.

    This ML should be ok, thanks for reporting!

We (nethserver-arm) use about 100 packages mirrored from epel-pass-1 repository for quite some time without issues.
Most of them are the usual suspects and noarch, nevertheless nice to keep track of the packages known to be working.

    At one point, we imported all the noarch from the official epel
    repo, but we've stopped doing that and now we're rebuilding
    everything.

BTW:
We also make use of the PHP72 community effort to run nextcloud. 
Opt-in was no option therefore use the in /opt SCL solution.

    any reason why the opt-in was not an option?

Thank you all for your work and persistence

    Again, thanks for testing!

    Pablo.
