Description Kenyon Ralph 2019-03-08 08:39:04 UTC 
Please package createrepo_c 0.12.1 for EPEL 7. I would like to be able to use the --set-timestamp-to-revision option introduced in that version so that I can generate reproducible repo data. Thanks.
Comment 1 Marek Blaha 2019-03-08 09:47:59 UTC 
You can try package from our nightly copr repo - https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/rpmsoftwaremanagement/dnf-nightly/

Comment 6 Tuomo Soini 2019-04-01 08:45:10 UTC 
This package Obsoletes createrepo package which afaik is still in rhel7. Epel package must not oboslete or replace core os packages.
Comment 7 Pavla Kratochvilova 2019-04-01 10:17:51 UTC 
Jarda Mracek made a patch to make the obsolete conditional (if Fedora > 30 or RHEL > 7): https://github.com/rpm-software-management/createrepo_c/pull/142
Comment 8 Fedora Update System 2019-04-01 10:40:25 UTC 
createrepo_c-0.12.2-2.el7 has been submitted as an update to Fedora EPEL 7. https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-EPEL-2019-76bf660607
Comment 9 Carl George 2019-04-03 14:13:55 UTC 
Pavla, it's mentioned in the comments of https://github.com/rpm-software-management/createrepo_c/pull/142 that some symlinks need to be conditionalized as well (https://github.com/rpm-software-management/createrepo_c/pull/144).  Can that change be made to the epel7 branch and a new build submitted?
Comment 10 Pavla Kratochvilova 2019-04-04 12:19:03 UTC 
Carl, I will submit new build for epel7 once the PR gets merged.
Comment 11 Carl George 2019-04-05 21:14:15 UTC 
Pavla, I just realized this request is invalid.  createrepo_c is in RHEL Extras.

$ is-it-in-rhel --release 7 --channel createrepo_c
createrepo_c is in RHEL 7;   version: 0.10.0;   arch: x86_64;   channel: rhel-7-server-extras-rpms

By policy, a newer version cannot be shipped in EPEL.  In fact the existing one needs to be retired.

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL/GuidelinesAndPolicies#Policy

Kenyon, since the EPEL package must be retired, I'm changing the product of this bug to RHEL 7 to request this update from the RHEL maintainer.
Comment 13 Daniel Mach 2019-09-11 08:27:22 UTC 
There is no plan to fix this bug during RHEL 7 life cycle.
If you still consider the issue important, please contact your support
representative.
