One of the biggest problems with modularity in EPEL is the our
current
implementation doesn't allow requiring modules from another build
system [0][1]. Has some other third party implementation solved this?
And more importantly, do any third party modules exist that require
EPEL modules?
I was told that there are companies which build and deploy
their own modules. I have no other datails. Especially whether their modules
depend on EPEL modules.
A special example are RHEL rebuilds. E.g. Oracle can reproduce RHEL modules,
including dependencies, with exact name-stream-version-context-architecture
string
<
https://yum.oracle.com/repo/OracleLinux/OL8/appstream/x86_64/repodata/c26...;.
However, I think this problem is of topic now. If EPEL and MBS people were
able to tackle it they wouldn't call off modules from EPEL.
