[EPEL-devel] Re: Rules for shadowing RHEL packages with EPEL modules
Once upon a time, Stephen John Smoogen <smooge(a)gmail.com> said:
Honestly I don't understand the solution (and probably the
problem)
enough to answer. My understanding of modules is about the same as a
layman's knowledge of quantum mechanics. I know it exists, I know it
does a lot of things, and I know it is full of conundrums which make
no sense to what I normally want to do.
THIS!
I've been hearing about modules for a while in Fedora, and now in RHEL 8,
but I don't really have the faintest idea what they are, how I'll have
to deal with them (both as an admin and as a packager), etc.
Once CentOS 8 is out and I have some time, I'll work on getting my one
useful EPEL package built for it, but hopefully that won't involve
modules. I only have a couple of packages between Fedora and EPEL, and
they so rarely need updates that every time I do anything, I have to go
fumble through the steps required (trying to follow online
documentation, which I usually screw up, like I think I checked my
source tarball into git like a moron).
