Bug 2274334

This issue is purely informational, you do not need to take any action. Thank you for your work maintaining yggdrasil in EPEL 9. Red Hat considers this package important enough to promote it to official RHEL. It will be part of RHEL 9.5. Please do not update yggdrasil in EPEL 9 so the RHEL version can have a higher version and release. When RHEL 9.5 is released, EPEL automation will remove yggdrasil from EPEL 9 and close this bug.

I noticed that yggdrasil being retired from EPEL 9 will result in the golang-github-redhatinsights-yggdrasil-devel subpackage no longer being available, because it is not currently included in the CentOS Stream 9 compose (as of CentOS-Stream-9-20240920.1).  This might be fine, as I don't see any EPEL 9 packages that require or buildrequire the devel package, but I wanted to check to make sure this is intentional.  It might be for the best because the devel package does not currently install.

If there is no intention to ship the devel package, I would suggest removing it from future builds by removing the %gopkgfiles line in the spec file.

It's not usable in CentOS because the dependent packages aren't available, but those packages do exist in Fedora, and there are packages that want to pull in golang(GitHub.com/redhatinsights/yggdrasil/worker) in order to compile (such as https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/yggdrasil-worker-package-manager/blob/rawhide/f/yggdrasil-worker-package-manager.spec). The spec files in CentOS have already been updated to not generate the golang devel sub packages, but they're still useful in Fedora.

Sure, I'm not suggesting that the devel package be removed in Fedora.  I can see where it was removed in c10s, but it's still there in c9s.  It doesn't hurt anything I guess, I would just consider removing it when it's convenient to keep the spec file tidy.

It looks like yggdrasil did not make it into RHEL 9.5.
It's possible it will not be added to RHEL 9 at all.
We will leave this ticket open until RHEL 9.6, and determine if this needs to be closed or not at that time.

yggdrasil did not make it into RHEL 9.6.
All indications show that it is not going into RHEL 9
Closing this ticket.
