Modules
EPIC-6
Because EL-6’s tooling is locked at this point, it does not make
sense to investigate modules.
EPIC-7
Currently EL-7 does not support Fedora modules and would require
updates to yum, rpm and other tools in order to do so. If these
show up in some form in a future minor release, then trees for
modules can be created and builds done.
I *think* the version of rpm has been bumped enough as of EL 7.5 to
support the tooling needed for modules. This would clearly need to be
verified, but if this is the case then modern version of dnf may be all
that's required.
EPIC-next
The tooling for modules can match how Fedora approaches it. This
means that rules for module inclusion will be similar to package
inclusion. EPIC-next modules must not replace/conflict with CentOS
modules. They may use their own namespace to offer newer versions
than what is offered and those modules may be removed in the next
minor release if CentOS offers them then.
