Description of problem: This is a request for updating the libheif version available in EPEL to at least v1.19.7. The latest version as of August 4, 2025 is v1.20.1 https://github.com/strukturag/libheif/releases/tag/v1.20.1 https://github.com/strukturag/libheif/releases/tag/v1.19.7 Can this be updated in EPEL 8, or does this only get released in EPEL 10? Thank you, Erik Christensen
libheif is not available in EPEL 8 at all. Maybe you're referring to the package available from RPM Fusion repository for EPEL? The current version there for EPEL8 is quite old, 1.7.0-2.el8. What do you need that version for? Any reason you can't move to a newer RHEL major version?
Yes, you are correct. I do see that libheif is not included in EPEL 8 but may be included in an RPM Fusion repo. I am running RHEL 8.10, but would like to stay on that version if possible. I am trying to resolve this issue: https://github.com/strukturag/libheif/issues/1190 and looking to install libhief via package manager. Please let me know if you have any more questions. Thank you. Erik Christensen
> I am trying to resolve this issue HEVC/H.265 codec is out of scope for Fedora and EPEL anyway, so this should be completely deferred to RPM Fusion bugzilla.
> Any reason you can't move to a newer RHEL major version? Note that indeed neither EPEL 9 nor EPEL 10 versions are recent enough to handle the issue mentioned above even w/ additional freeworld support, at least 1.18.x is needed.
