Description Robert Scheck 2024-05-20 16:09:12 UTC
Description of problem:
Please branch and build perl-Authen-DigestMD5 for EPEL 8.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
perl-Authen-DigestMD5-0.04-30.el9

Actual results:
No perl-Authen-DigestMD5 in EPEL 8

Expected results:
perl-Authen-DigestMD5 in EPEL 8 ;-)

Additional info:
Rebuilding perl-Authen-DigestMD5-0.04-30.el9 from EPEL 9 on 8 worked for me.

Comment 2 Robert Scheck 2024-05-21 08:52:41 UTC
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.

Comment 3 Paul Howarth 2024-05-21 09:13:41 UTC
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?

Comment 4 Robert Scheck 2024-05-21 11:29:00 UTC
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.
