+* Tue Dec 17 2024 Kaleb S. KEITHLEY <kkeithle[at]redhat.com> - 3.9.1-0
+- bootstrap epel10
+-  temporarily (or is it?) remove qt5 sub-package. Will epel10 get qt5?
+-  temporarily remove test w/ xvfb-run until I can figure out the
+   proper replacement.
+-  inkscape seems to not be needed. Or am I wrong about that? It builds 
+   without it as a BR. Will add it back when inkscape is built for EPEL10.

 * Fri Aug 11 2023 Tom Callaway <spot@fedoraproject.org> - 3.7.2-2
