Description rhel-process-autobot 2026-08-03 12:24:32 UTC

Notice: rust-sequoia-sq will be automatically retired from EPEL 9

This issue is purely informational and you do not need to take any action.Thank you for your work maintaining rust-sequoia-sq in EPEL 9. Red Hat considers this package important enough to promote it to RHEL. It is expected to be part of RHEL 9.9. Please do not update rust-sequoia-sq in EPEL 9 any further to ensure that the CentOS Stream and RHEL packages have a proper upgrade path.
In EPEL 9 or earlier, the package will be automatically retired on the corresponding distgit branch shortly after the package is available in RHEL.


This bug will be closed automatically once the retirement takes place.

This issue is purely informational, you do not need to take any action. Thank you for your work maintaining rust-sequoia-sq in EPEL 9. Red Hat considers this package important enough to promote it to official RHEL. It will be part of RHEL 9.9. Please do not update rust-sequoia-sq in EPEL 9 so the RHEL version can have a higher version and release. When RHEL 9.9 is released, EPEL automation will remove rust-sequoia-sq from EPEL 9 and close this bug.

Acknowledged.

Some notes for posterity:

The latest versions of sq, sequoia-wot, and sequoia-cert-store (including the version that introduces PQC support) were never built for EPEL 9 (nor would they work on RHEL 9) due to the version of sqlite available there being too old.

If I remember correctly, this is due to usage of the "STRICT keyword in SQL statements:

> The STRICT keyword at the end of a CREATE TABLE statement is only recognized by SQLite version 3.37.0 (2021-11-27) and later.

(from https://sqlite.org/stricttables.html)

RHEL 9 ships sqlite 3.34.1.
