Comment 1 Dominik 'Rathann' Mierzejewski 2017-01-10 12:36:32 UTC

I don't think it's a good idea. More packages than just openmx depend on elpa and ABI breaks must be avoided (if at all possible) in EPEL, so I'm leaning towards WONTFIX. See https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL/GuidelinesAndPolicies . I don't see a compelling reason to update elpa in EPEL at this point.

Comment 2 marcindulak 2017-01-10 12:52:10 UTC

What are the other packages depending on ELPA on EPEL apart from openmx?

Comment 3 Dominik 'Rathann' Mierzejewski 2017-01-12 21:16:10 UTC

Right, sorry. I was somehow convinced that cp2k was another user of ELPA, but that's only in Fedora. I'll take a look, then.

Comment 4 Dominik 'Rathann' Mierzejewski 2017-06-12 12:04:53 UTC

Ok, I finally took a stab at this and I can keep it in sync down to epel7. EL6 has a version of autoconf that is too old and can't parse newer elpa's configure.ac after patching. So, if you want to keep it in sync for el6, too, please provide a patch.

In the meantime, I'm building elpa-2015.11.001, i.e. the last version before the internal functions used by openmx were made private. I'll request a build override and rebuild openmx on epel7 against the new elpa and release them together as an update.

Please note that I'm planning to update elpa to the latest version (2017.05.001) this summer, so if openmx hasn't moved to the new APIs, you'll have to bundle the old version or fix it yourself.
