I am retiring the caddy package from EPEL 7. In accordance with the
retirement policy [0], I proposed this retirement just over a week ago
on the epel-devel mailing list [1]. For reasons detailed in the
previous email, it is no longer possible to update the package with
the same major version, preventing me from resolving known CVEs.
Doing an incompatible update to the next major version is not an
appealing option with only ten months left until the retirement of
EPEL 7 as a whole.
Users that wish to keep using caddy on RHEL 7 can use the Copr repo
from the upstream project [2][3]. Caddy is also available from EPEL 8
and EPEL 9 for users that are ready to migrate to a newer operating
system version. Both of these options will involve the disruptive
update from caddy v1 to v2, but users can opt-in to it at their own
pace. The upstream project has a migration guide in their
documentation to help [4].
