Re: [HTCondor-users] Fwd: Re: [EPEL-devel] HTCondor on EPEL 7

[Tim Theisen <tim@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

It would be nice to have HTCondor in EPEL. However, EPEL should probably only carry the stable releases. 8.2.x is the current stable release. 8.4.x will be the next stable release. Having the development releases in EPEL may be problematic.

I would be very happy to work with FrantiÅek DvoÅÃk to make this as easy as possible.

Hi there,

As Iâm no part of either EPEL or HTCondor teams, maybe you (both teams) should get in touch about what FrantiÅek (CCâed) replied to my email on EPEL ml so things get cleared ?
I guess Iâm not the only admin to use both EPEL and HTCondor repo, and maybe thereâs a way to get things done more cleanly than using priorities ?
Last point is, *if* HTCondor is to be delivered via EPEL, Iâm not that fond of using a devel version in prod.

Anyway, itâs up to you, guys :)

Keep up the good work !

The problem is there exists other SW depending on condor (particulary
condor-classads library), which needs to go to EPEL 7.

The packaging is taken from Fedora branches.

But the condor-externals bundles external dependencies (!). Some of them
are already in EPEL.

I can imagine to add dummy condor-externals package, if it will help. To
make it more compatible using provids/obsoletes would be problematic I
guess: both repositories have increasing versions. HTCondor repositories
may need to use priorities.

The best way would be to package condor directly in EPEL by HTCondor.
