Description Greg Hennessy 2024-10-18 18:00:53 UTC
Pleaes branch and build conda-24.9.2 in epel9.

Comment 1 Orion Poplawski 2024-10-18 23:46:59 UTC
There is no way we can update conda to 24.9.2 in epel9 using the standard python3 (3.9).  We *might* be able to do it for python3.11, but I'm not sure it's worth the effort.

Comment 2 Greg Hennessy 2024-10-19 23:19:14 UTC
According to https://devguide.python.org/versions/, Python 9 becomes EOL one year from now. Sometime in the next year, I submit that it becomes worth the effort.

Python 3.9, my apologies for the error.

Comment 4 Orion Poplawski 2024-10-20 00:16:07 UTC
Presumably RedHat will be supporting Python 3.9 through the life of RHEL9 as it is the default python.  In any case, I really don't have the time to work on it.  Feel free to contribute to the effort though.

Upstream EOL dates are mostly irrelevant for RHEL packages.  For example, Python 2.7 was EOL upstream in January 2020, but RHEL 8 provided security patches for it through June 2024.

Yup, that is confirmed by the AppStream lifecycle page.
