Description Brian J. Murrell 2023-06-01 17:52:02 UTC

Description of problem:
python-avocado seems to be missing from EPEL 9.

It would be nice to be able to install python-avocado from RPMs on EL9.

Comment 1 Cleber Rosa 2023-07-17 14:25:45 UTC

Working on it.

Comment 2 Cleber Rosa 2023-07-17 19:07:32 UTC

Requested the epel9 branch in https://pagure.io/releng/fedora-scm-requests/issue/54609

Comment 3 Cleber Rosa 2023-07-17 19:13:51 UTC

Brian,

Not a guarantee that this will be followed, but, would you rather see 92.x (LTS) or the upcoming 103.0 (also LTS) on EPEL9?

For some comparison and context, previous EPEL releases had the current LTS versions, example:

Fedora EPEL 8	python-avocado-82.0-2.el8	
Fedora EPEL 7	python-avocado-69.2-1.el7

Naturally EPEL 9 would receive 92.x, but upstream is on the verge (couple of weeks) to release 103.0.

Let me know your thoughts.

Hi @brian.murrell , please let me know your take to the question above.

Thanks.

Hi @crosa.

TBH, I am not sure I care.  I suppose whatever gets Avocado into EPEL9 the most expediently is what I would choose.

Comment 6 Brian J. Murrell 2023-09-18 11:49:10 UTC

Any progress on this?

Comment 7 Cleber Rosa 2023-10-05 16:43:18 UTC

Hi Brian,

We made the strategic decision to package the newer LTS (to be released soon) in EPEL9.  The ETA is about 2-3 weeks.  The packages on EPEL will be available right after that.
