Wouldn't a separate RHEL channel for a separate product, such as ansible, mean a separate channel for CentOS to avoid precisely this confusion? Mixing it into EPEL and having it on a separate RHEL channel would be *bad* for anyone who activates that separate channel. They'd have to filter it out of EPEL to ensure that the streams don't get crossed on any updates from Red Hat. I understand that this is one of the main reasons EPEL never carries packages that overlap with RHEL published software. _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org
