Description of problem: There is no epel9 branch for the cppad project Steps to Reproduce: 1. fedpkg clone cppad 2. cd cppad 3. git show-ref | grep epel Actual results: cppad>git show-ref | grep epel ecccc57434c51a09b0bcb9d1011f383b5c2298ce refs/remotes/origin/epel7 241ba30dadddc236b2fd4da1a32a879ab0dce892 refs/remotes/origin/epel8 Desired results: epel9 would be included in the list above
The proper way to create a branch is using the following command: fedpkg request-branch epel9 Doing so for the cppad project generated the following request: https://pagure.io/releng/fedora-scm-requests/issue/42949
Thank you I will try the instructions above. Looking at https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/epel/epel-package-request/ You will find the instructions below. perhaps these should be corrected ? If this package has never been in EPEL before, the component will not exist in the "Fedora EPEL" product. You can still request the package by using the "Fedora" product Bugzilla fields for an EPEL request (alternative) Classification: Fedora Product: Fedora Component: <component> Version: rawhide Summary: Please branch and build <package> in epel9 (or epel8, etc.)
