EPEL 10 introduces the concept of minor versions for EPEL. While intuitive to some, this change has tripped up even experienced maintainers who haven't kept up with recent developments. This session will walk through what's new in EPEL 10 from the packager's point of view. We'll cover how minor versions work, what they mean for package lifecycle and compatibility, and how you can best manage updates across minor versions. Whether you're an EPEL veteran or a Fedora packager stepping into EPEL for the first time, this talk will equip you with the knowledge and confidence to package for EPEL 10.
