Also #java users out there should be aware that @fedora 42+ and EL10 based distributions such as @centos Stream 10 and RHEL10 no longer have "non-system" (21) versions of java. But the good news is you can now easily install @eclipseadoptium #Temurin via #EPEL e.g. to install Temurin JDK8:

# For CS10/Fedora # dnf install epel-release
# RHEL10 # rpm -ivh https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-10.noarch.rpm
dnf install -y adoptium-temurin-java-repository
dnf --enablerepo=adoptium-temurin-java-repository install temurin-8-jdk

Congrats; also for making things so important that RH now hand-picks stuff from there to ship it directly.

/me meanwhile still remembers sitting in a meeting room in Bosten with some RH managers that were a bit worried about this EPEL stuff we were starting…

'"Starting now, the Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) extensions repository addresses the evolving needs of RHEL users by providing a trusted and reliable source of validated software content. […] Initially, we've hand-picked popular content from Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux (#EPEL), and we'll be evaluating additional sources of content in the future. "'

EPEL 10 launched a little over five months ago. Today, RHEL 10 was released. In that time EPEL 10 has grown to 17,756 packages (from 5,451 source packages) built by 249 different Fedora packagers. 📦🎉🤩

We are sorry to inform you that your proposal, "How to create an #RPM Declarative Buildsystem to reduce boilerplate (and save the planet)", was not accepted.

We are sorry to inform you that your proposal, "The state of #Fedora, #EPEL, and #CentOS #Python RPM packaging in 2025", was not accepted.

That's... unfortunate. I wonder what kind of talks were accepted for Flock this year.

The March #syslog_ng #newsletter is now available on-line:

* Test syslog-ng on #EPEL 10!

* Collecting #OneIdentity #ActiveRoles logs centrally using the syslog-ng #Windows Agent

* syslog-ng OSE 4.8.1 is now in EPEL 10, quick fix for #Elasticsearch

syslog-ng 4.8.1 is now available in #EPEL 10, so you do not have to use the testing repository anymore. Thanks everyone for the feedback!
However, support for #Elasticsearch 7+ is broken in this release, as some of you reported. Quick fix: https://www.syslog-ng.com/community/b/blog/posts/syslog-ng-ose-4-8-1-is-now-in-epel-10-quick-fix-for-elasticsearch

Happy to announce that the @EvolutionGnome #email / #PIM application is now available in @fedora #EPEL #EPEL10 for those of you on @centos Stream or @almalinux #AlmaLinuxKitten or one of the EL10 betas!

The dev is about to merge it under the #uBlue namespace. So no, it will persist in some form.

Keep in mind that auto-updates are always a thing, uBlue has a really good implementation while #Fedora and probably HeliumOS dont yet.

UBlue has started with #Bluefin #LTS based on #CentOS Stream 10 #CS10 too, but with the #GNOME desktop. HeliumOS uses #KDE (#EPEL) so a merge (like done with #Aurora earlier) makes sense.

Version 4.8.1 of syslog-ng is available in #EPEL 10:

My blog contains a quick fix for the #Elasticsearch destination.

In case you're still building packages or something similar for EL7 distributions, you might run into errors if you use the #EPEL repositories.

Enterprise #Linux 7 distributions include RHEL7 and CentOS7 - both are officially EOL. Red Hat however gives extended support for #RHEL 7 until 2028.

This also means you might have to continue maintain packages for EL7. This leads to fixing #CICD pipelines, requiring (now empty) EPEL repositories for dependent packages.

https://www.claudiokuenzler.com/blog/1467/fix-ci-cd-pipeline-epel-repositories-el7-rhel7

You may have seen that we're building #AlmaLinux 10 for x86_64_v2 as a separate build, while the main x86 build moves on to requiring the x86_64 v3 feature set - following RHEL 10.

If the x86_64_v2 build is important to you, do you also want or need #EPEL built for x86_64 v2? If so, please let us know in the #almalinux ALESCo RFC: https://github.com/AlmaLinux/ALESCo/pull/2

To the person asking for the #Evolution #email client for #CentOS_Stream 10 - I just checked with #ebranch and there are only 9 packages needed, so I'll try and get it into either @fedora #EPEL or if there are conflicting dependencies, into the @gnome repo we're currently incubating in the #HyperscaleSIG

And last but certainly not least #EPEL 10 is here too https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-EPEL-2025-19874e7799

Look, #EPEL 8 is covered too: https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-EPEL-2025-746273e909 -- as always, don't forget to _vote_ if the update works!

On the other hand, #EPEL is seeing updates across EPEL 8 9 and 10. First one is 9 just because. Please test and vote:

https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-EPEL-2025-470882563a

#snapd 2.67 is hitting #fedora and #epel! Fedora 41 update is available at https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2025-9ab93df0e0 -- please give it a try and pass your vote there if you find it working or problematic.

#syslog_ng 4.8.1 is now available in #EPEL 10, so you do not have to use the testing repository anymore. Thanks everyone for the feedback!
However, support for #Elasticsearch 7+ is broken in this release. Learn how to fix this problem!

#LogManagement

Last December, I added support for #EPEL 10 in my unofficial #syslog_ng Git snapshot repository. This week, I call for #testing the official syslog-ng EPEL 10 package.

#RHEL #CentOS #AlmaLinux #LogManagement

Anyone having an idea how to get #MP4 playback working in #LibreWolf on #rhel10 beta?

I have a strong hunch it's related to ffmpeg ... librewolf complains about NS_ERROR_DOM_MEDIA_FATAL_ERR and Couldn't open avcodec:. I tested #rpmfusion on an AlmaLinux 9 box, and it works fine there with the same kind of packages installed there - but ffmpeg seems to be crux anyhow.

I do have the #oneplay codec pack from #fluendo installed as well, to no avail.

@hallo Ich haben eben auf https://manual.uberspace.de/lang-java/ gelesen es gäbe nur #Java 16 weil #EPEL 7. Ist die Info auf der Website aktuell?

AFAIS ist #EPL7 veraltet https://archives.fedoraproject.org/pub/archive/epel/7/
