I don't view it as an issue, as long as * the upgrade path is right, that is the EPEL package is updated by the corresponding RHEL/EPEL package in the next RHEL/EPEL release, which implies some coordination with RHEL/EPEL maintainers. * the packages are stable enough for inclusing in EPEL, which is not the case for the 2 you mentionned, in my opinion, but is certainly so for ant17. -- Pat _______________________________________________ epel-devel-list mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/epel-devel-list
