We'd love fzf it's just not in EPEL 10 yet

I believe we can get away with not adding most of these for now tho

[hanthor]

we are already adding glow from charm. we can get it added to EPEL instead?

[tulilirockz]

i think we should be just a bit more conservative with this wishlist for now LOL. a good target for now would be to have parity with bluefin base if possible. there might also be some things we dont need here

[carlwgeorge]

Assuming all of these are open source, they should all be possible to add to EPEL. Things that are already in Fedora are easier. What would help me is a ranked order of importance so I know where to focus my time first.

I don't think we want to blanket ask for these as the criteria for support would be longer. Printers and fonts will require some thought.

Restic and rclone are nobrainers, let's go with those for an easy win?

[tulilirockz]

This is our current default font on Bluefin, this might be super cool to have on EPEL too

https://packages.fedoraproject.org/pkgs/wl-clipboard/

wl-clipboard is real nice thing to have. copying out of tmux is a pain

@carlwgeorge Theres a HackMD that we have that has some of the packages we don't have here - Might be worth checking it out? https://hackmd.io/T2OAjyXIS12kZ2Ljz2q_0g?edit=
