Will you be able to branch and build elixir in epel9? It's a bit hard than 'just building it for EPEL', since it needs building a bunch of dependent packages for EPEL9 as well. I do not currently have the bandwidth to do so: I don't see it happening in the foreseeable future unless someone else step up with this work (who I woudl gladly support). Another thing is that erlang packaging macro in Fedora/EPEL still depend on long-deprecated rebar2 (instead of rebar3) - it would be best to fix it before porting to EPEL. Elixir is now available for all EL9 derivatives (CentOS Stream 9, AlmaLinux 9, Rocky Linux 9, RHEL 9) via the CentOS Messaging SIG: dnf install centos-release-messaging This provides the full Erlang/OTP stack including Elixir. The centos-release-messaging package is available in the extras repository of AlmaLinux and Rocky Linux, so it works out of the box on all major EL9 distributions. Building Elixir in EPEL would duplicate the Messaging SIG effort and create potential conflicts. Closing in favor of the SIG. |
