EPEL-ANNOUNCE Retirement of findbugs-bcel in EPEL 7
by Richard Fearn 09 Dec '22

09 Dec '22

Hi all, A couple of weeks ago I announced my intention to retire findbugs-bcel in EPEL 7: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/epel-devel@lists.fedoraprojec… This was approved by the EPEL Steering Committee on Wednesday: https://pagure.io/epel/issue/210 I'm therefore announcing that I will be retiring the package. I doubt anyone is using this package in EPEL 7 (FindBugs itself was never packaged for EPEL 7) - but in any case, it is still available from Maven Central. Regards, Richard -- Richard Fearn richardfearn(a)gmail.com

EPEL-ANNOUNCE Update of minor version of golang coming to EPEL7
by Dave Dykstra 01 Dec '22

01 Dec '22

golang-1.18.4 is now available in epel-testing for EPEL7, an update of a minor version from 1.17.12. I expect it to be promoted in about a week unless karma changes that. https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-EPEL-2022-96dbad9cd3 My policy for updating golang is to follow the updates in RHEL8. RHEL8.7 updated to golang-1.18.4 a few weeks ago. Golang typically gets a minor version update twice a year and they only support 2 minor versions for security updates (and almost every patch release has CVEs), so minor versions are obsoleted more quickly than most open source tools.
