Re: [BackupPC-users] BackupPC and EPEL10

Thanks Richard. I went down that particular learning journey (rabbit hole?)
earlier, reading about how EPEL 10 works now. It’s great if everyone can be
on the latest version of EL…

I see that BackupPC is now available in EPEL 10 – which is great. Is there
a reason why it targets a specific minor version of EL10 (10.2)? The EL9
and EL8 packages are available for any 9.x and 8.x release I think? Rocky
Linux has only just released 10.1. What happens when 10.3 is released?



Because of the way EPEL works "these days" I would have to specifically
request branches for 10.1, so they would essentially be a different branch.
I don't mind doing so if there's sufficient demand for it but I'm still
concerned that there may be non-BackupPC dependencies which are
unavailable, notably the perl-net-ftp-retrHandle package which I do not
maintain.



Thanks,

Richard
