Do you know how frequently RHEL6 EPEL packages are updated ? Is there a way to track it in order to have timeline? I am mainly interested in docker-io package

At the moment, EPEL package is set with docker-io-1.4.1-3.el6.x86_64. However, docker 1.5.0 has been released since 2015-02-03

EPEL package version: https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/x86_64/repoview/docker-io.html

Thanks

You have fedora referential with a more recent docker: https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/testing/6/SRPMS/: docker-io-1.5.0-1.el6.src.rpm

As mentioned in "issues 7968":

Docker 1.x is in the EPEL testing repository.
You can enable the testing repository and install with:

yum --enablerepo epel-testing install docker-io

EPEL may not have the latest Docker version.
You'll need to install via our packages or raise the issue with the downstream EPEL team.

That means only the EPEL maintainers would have more visibility on the update calendar for this package.

  • I am sorry but the question is rather to understand when i will be able to see docker-io package within EPEL repos for RHEL6 and if there is a way to track it. PS: docker is another package not related to docker-io on RHEL6 – Florent Valdelievre Apr 16 '15 at 11:03
  • @FlorentValdelievre OK, I have rewritten the answer accordingly. – VonC Apr 16 '15 at 11:14
