Description of problem: The restic package in epel is out of date at version 0.13.1 while F39 has 0.16.2. The older version does not support the new restic repository format, making shared repositories a bit problematic. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Current: 0.13.1 Available in Fedora: 0.16.2 Available upstream: 0.16.4
Is there a technical reason why this package is not updated for EPEL 9 or is there just no interest in doing so? restic being a single go binary without special dependencies, it does not look like it would require any adjustments. Please consider maintaining it for EPEL 9.
I took restic package when original maintainer orphaned it and I've been updating it for Fedora. The difference between Fedora and EPEL is that Fedora's build has all the required dependencies packaged while EPEL uses vendored approach. There is nothing wrong with this approach other than current package's LICENSE is not correct, but I don't want to maintain restic using this method. There is a promising tool called go-vendor-tools, but it's not ready for EPEL yet, so until it's ready I won't update EPEL version. https://gitlab.com/fedora/sigs/go/go-vendor-tools/-/issues/10 BUT help is always welcome.
