    ASAP

    N/A

  • If we cannot complete your request, what is the impact?
    Can't add package to EPEL9

How did you initiate the build? That git hash is not in the distgit repository.

I did fedpkg build --scratch on epel9 branch and it fails during the build process https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=91281072

It was originally run with a fedpkg build in my local copy of the epel9 branch.

Anyway, that was the hint I needed, as I deleted my local copy and cloned it again. I found that it didn't have my previous updates, so I don't know what happened to them, but I can now build it again. Looks like my previous push didn't go correctly.

Thanks for your help.
