there is not an easy way to provide a permanent link. the best fix would be for your script to write out a yum repo file for epel and do a yum install of epel-release. This also removes the single point of failure that is the single download.fedora.redhat.com server. alternatively you could have a copy of epel-release that you host on your own servers then if we update the package a yum update will get the latest version. however i do believe using yum and the epel repo is the most reliable way to move forward. I guess you could also use rsync or ftp to get the latest copy and install it also. but again using the mirrorlist and a yum repo to me seems best Dennis
