Please branch and build lxc in epel9
Hey! Is there any chance that LXC would be built for CentOS 9? Any help needed with that?
Hello, Will you be able to branch and build lxc in epel9? I would be happy to be a co-maintainer if you do not wish to build it on epel9 (FAS: neil).

FEDORA-EPEL-2022-968b01292a has been submitted as an update to Fedora EPEL 9. https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-EPEL-2022-968b01292a
Hi Neil, Dmitry, finally got around building the packages for EPEL9. Please test :)
Hi Thomas, Thanks so much! I will give them a check and add feedback to the bhodi update :) In my lxc4.0 copr, I added in a subpackage for a lxc-templates-extra package built from https://github.com/lxc/lxc-templates - would you be willing to accept a PR that would add this in? It would help resolve https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1860566 too.
Hi Thomas, From what we tested before we indeed need these extra templates be present to get expected behavior and cover our usecase. But basic LXC functionality working nicely with already built packages, thanks! Installed them manually and made bunch of containers without issues.

Some thoughts: Shouldn't we name it lxc-templates-legacy (to make it clear that they are considered legacy by upstream)? We should use Source: https://github.com/lxc/lxc-templates/archive/%{commit}/%{name}-%{shortcommit}.tar.gz , or are there changes to the templates in your private repo? The templates will probably not work without further dependencies. Do we have everything in Fedora, and should we declare them? Maybe not, but this will lead to bug reports about non-functional templates. That said, I'm not sure it should be moved to a package of its own, as Fedora packaging guidelines discourage multiple sources in one package. Will think about it. > It would help resolve https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1860566 > too.

No changes in my private repo, I just forked it for quickly getting a build working in copr. > > The templates will probably not work without further dependencies.

The templates do work at least at face value in for our purposes in the OpenStack Ansible project, but I can't speak to their full functionality. I agree there is a consideration here with respect to future bug reports. > > That said, I'm not sure it should be moved to a package of its own, as > Fedora packaging guidelines discourage multiple sources in one package. Will > think about it. That's a very good point I didn't think about. I'd be happy to float the question to some other EPEL folks if you'd like! > > > It would help resolve https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1860566 > > too.
