Details in the mailing list post: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/epel-devel@lists.fedoraproject.org/thread/ONAGYZSMJ7HJQWFSODWMVQPYSGQMJGYP/

TL;DR: I propose to make a technically "incompatible" update to syncthing v2 in EPEL 10.3 and 10.2, and to retire the package in EPEL 9 and 8 where it can no longer be updated.

This has been approved by the EPEL Steering Committee, with 2 notes.

Note1: The committee does not vote on retiring packages, so this vote is just on updating to v2 in EPEL 10.3 and 10.2

Note2: When retiring packages, it's good to give lots of warning and announcements, like you are doing. So, thank you for what you have done, and please continue.

Thank you - I have submitted the updates for EPEL 10.3 and 10.2 and sent a post to the epel-announce list as required (it still requires moderator approval).

I will announce the upcoming retirement in EPEL 9 and 8 separately.

backlog status
needs review
 Work items that have been created or updated but need review, refinement, or approval before they can be considered ready for sprint planning.

Archived

  
backlog status
ready
 Work items that have been reviewed, refined, and are ready to be committed to a sprint. These items have clear requirements and can be worked on immediately when capacity is available.

Archived

  
chore
Work that needs to be done but doesn't add new functionality or fix bugs. Maintenance tasks that keep the system running smoothly and the codebase clean.

Archived

  
documentation
Work focused on creating, updating, or improving documentation for users, developers, or system administrators.

Archived

  
planned
A task that was added to a sprint from the beggining of it.

  
points
01
 A task that is simple, small, and has very little uncertainty. It should be easy enough for any team member to pick up and complete quickly, without a lot of discussion or research.

  
points
02
 This is a task that is slightly more complex or larger than a "1." It might involve two or three simple steps, but the outcome is still very clear and there's little uncertainty.

  
points
03
 Medium-sized task with some noticeable complexity. It might require a bit more thought or collaboration. The steps are well-defined, but it's not a trivial change.

  
points
05
 A significant piece of work. It has more complexity and a higher degree of uncertainty than smaller tasks. It might require some research, a design discussion, or collaboration across multiple teams.

  
points
08
 Complex task with a lot of uncertainty. It's often the largest size that a team will consider for a single sprint. It likely requires a detailed breakdown and multiple team members to complete.

  
points
13
 Any task that feels like it's a "13" or more is considered an Epic. These are too large and uncertain to be worked on in a single sprint and should be broken down.

Archived

  
priority
high
 This is for work that is critical and needs to be addressed in the next sprint. It's often for urgent bugs, important features, or a major piece of technical debt that is blocking other work.

  
priority
low
 This is for work that is good to do but not urgent. It's a candidate for being worked on when there's extra time or when it rises in importance. It can stay in the backlog for a longer period.

  
priority
medium
 This is for important work that should be done soon, but isn't as urgent as a high-priority item. It will likely be considered for the next 1-2 sprints.

  
sprint status
blocked
 Work items that cannot progress due to external dependencies, blockers, or issues that need resolution.

Archived

  
sprint status
done
 Work items that have been completed, reviewed, and integrated. No further work is needed within the current sprint.

Archived

  
sprint status
in progress
 Work items currently being worked on by a team member. Active development, research, or implementation is happening.

Archived

  
sprint status
review
 Work items that are complete but need review, testing, or approval before being marked as done.

Archived

  
sprint status
to do
 Work items that are committed to the sprint but haven't been started yet. These items are ready to be picked up by team members.

Archived

  
technical debt
Work that addresses shortcuts, workarounds, or suboptimal implementations that were done previously to meet deadlines. These items improve code quality, maintainability, or performance without adding new features.

Archived

  
work item
bug
 Issues where the system is not working as intended or designed. Bugs represent deviations from expected behavior.

Archived

  
work item
epic
 Large initiatives that are broken down into multiple smaller work items (user stories, tasks, bugs). Epics represent significant features or projects that span multiple sprints.

  
work item
spike
 Time-boxed research, investigation, or proof-of-concept work to reduce uncertainty or explore solutions. Spikes help inform future development decisions.

Archived

  
work item
task
 Used to break down larger user stories into smaller, manageable implementation pieces. They focus on the specific technical steps needed to deliver the user story's value.

Archived

  
work item
user story
 User-facing features or functionality that can be framed from a user perspective, describing what someone wants to accomplish and why.
