#10549 Stalled EPEL package: perl-String-Similarity
Closed: It's all good by humaton. Opened by lcons.

Closed: It's all good
Reopen Issue

perl-String-Similarity is a stalled EPEL package.

See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2037243

I am requesting "lcons" commit permissions so that I might branch and build this package in EPEL.

Since the package is now orphan (owned by extras-orphan@fedoraproject.org), I can also take ownership and maintain it for Fedora and EPEL.

You are now a collaborator on the epel branches for the package

There seems to be a problem...

Here is what I tried:

% fedpkg switch-branch epel7
Could not execute switch_branch: Unknown remote branch origin/epel7

This is expected since there does not seem to be an epel7 branch.

% fedpkg request-branch epel7
Could not execute request_branch: This package is already an EL package and is built on all supported arches, therefore, it cannot be in EPEL. If this is a mistake or you have an exception, please contact the Release Engineering team.

Why do I get this error?

@lcons, as the massage states the package is already in Enterprise Linux , so it is in the rhel repositories, and adding it into epel will create conflicts.
