[EPEL-devel] EPEL 10 proposal
Now that EPEL 9 is in full swing, I'd like to start planning ahead for
what comes next. CentOS Stream 10 is expected to be available in
2024. We should be able to start EPEL 10 around the same time. Until
then, we have the opportunity to evaluate what we can improve in EPEL.
I am proposing a new workflow and structure for EPEL 10. The high
level summary is for EPEL 10 to have unique branches, build targets,
and repos for each minor version of RHEL 10, including CentOS Stream
10 as the upcoming minor version. This would be a significant change
from how EPEL works today, but I think it would address several pain
points for maintainers and users. I am opening this topic for
discussion as early as possible before the EPEL 10 launch to gather
feedback. Please note that this is currently just a proposal and has
yet to be voted on by the EPEL Steering Committee.
Please visit this thread on the Fedora Discussion site for the full proposal.

I would also ask that feedback be provided there instead of as email
replies here on the list.
