#300 EPEL 10 launch
Closed: Fixed by carlwgeorge. Opened by carlwgeorge.

We are nearing the ideal time to officially launch EPEL 10, roughly six months prior to the RHEL 10.0 release. Here are a list of items we need to complete for the launch.

  • [✓] add epel-release to CentOS's extras-common repo
  • [✓] disable nightly compose cron job
  • [✓] bodhi release changes
    • [✓] set state to current
    • [✓] set composed-by-bodhi to true
    • [✓] set create-automatic-updates to false
  • [✓] disable mandatory_days_in_testing override
  • [✓] revert bugzilla exclusion
  • [✓] update new-updates-sync
  • [✓] add epel-release-latest symlink
  • [✓] add instructions to getting started page
  • [✓] add EPEL 10 overview to docs
  • [✓] release announcement

I'll take "add epel-release to CentOS's extras-common repo"
I'll wait a week, possibly two. But I'll let you know on this issue when it's done.

I'm going to take the "update new-updates-sync" and the "add instructions to getting started page"

https://pagure.io/fedora-infra/ansible/pull-request/2343 implements a good number of the items above. I'll cross them off once it's merged.

Metadata Update from @carlwgeorge:
- Issue tagged with: meeting

epel-release has been built for CentOS Stream 10 extras-common repo.
It has been tagged for release, but I don't know how long it takes for that repo to make it everywhere.
https://cbs.centos.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=56941

https://pagure.io/fedora-infra/ansible/pull-request/2365 should fix the symlink once it's merged.

PR 310 should tick off the "Getting Started" page box, and I think @carlgeorge's PR 309 ticks the "Add EPEL 10 Overview" box right?

@psss Thanks for catching that. I've pushed the fix in this commit. If you noticed anything else please do mention it, or even send a pull request to fix it directly.
