EPEL availability #54

Open eclipseo opened 6 years ago

eclipseo commented 6 years ago

I've got asked to package a Golang app for EPEL, what are the plan for making the macros available in EPEL?

ingvagabund commented 6 years ago

Partly blocked by https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1409553. There are some golang packages already released as part of the RHEL7 that we can not update/build in epel7 due to packaging guidelines. Some of them:

I am currently rebuilding go packages the apple the new macros and to upload automatically generated glide files. I will send an email describing the current state of the packaging and plans for the epel7 soon. Though, it may take some time.

Which Go app are you referring to?

Rclone, which implies more than 130 deps.

The plan is to eventually push to epel (I use my dev branch almost exclusively on el) but there are lots of cleanups and refactorings to finish first. Even within Fedora doing the changes is hard and gets some pushback. In EPEL it would not be possible at all to develop incrementally.

Not even sure where the golang package is in EL7 nowadays
