FEDORA-EPEL-2024-cb68b5cc6b (perl-Authen-DigestMD5-0.04-48.el8) has been submitted as an update to Fedora EPEL 8. https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-EPEL-2024-cb68b5cc6b Thank you very much! Was it intended that you built perl-Authen-DigestMD5-0.04-*48*.el8, while EPEL 9 has perl-Authen-DigestMD5-0.04-*30*.el9? I get there are no changes by content, but NEVRA EPEL 8 > 9 feels strange. Yes, it was intentional. Normally when branching for EPEL I use the latest non-rebuild release, i.e. the last one in which a meaningful change happened. In this case, when looking at the package I noticed its use of deprecated %patch syntax so I fixed that, built it for rawhide and then rebuilt that for epel8. I looked but couldn't find any policy relating to having an upgrade path between EPEL versions so I think this is OK. I toyed with the idea of bumping the epel9 package too but that would be a fairly meaningless update for most users. What do you think? Ah! I didn't look to the %changelog, just to the actual content of the binary package. Honestly, I don't have a strong preference, on the other side it's a small package where a fairly meaningless update shouldn't hurt either (RHEL supports 8 -> 9 inline upgrades with some limitations, but I guess there are other packages causing more issues during such an upgrade than this one). I just wanted to point it out in case it was a mistake. FEDORA-EPEL-2024-f25a5d2d3d (perl-Authen-DigestMD5-0.04-48.el9) has been submitted as an update to Fedora EPEL 9. https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-EPEL-2024-f25a5d2d3d OK, better to be safe than sorry I guess. FEDORA-EPEL-2024-cb68b5cc6b has been pushed to the Fedora EPEL 8 testing repository.
