After talking a little in #epel, Kevin pointed out that EPEL has primarily agreed to not conflict with packages in RHEL AS, but not in various other add-on channels. http://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/teams/epel/epel.2010-01-15-21.00.log.html#l-134 The caveat to this is that we'll consider requests from RHEL folks to no ship things. Obviously, no one wants to cause problems. David, do you know if the MRG folks have issues with facter and puppet in EPEL? As I said, those packages have been in EPEL for years, so I'm not sure there's anything to be gained by trying to block them at this point. We're already way past MRG in terms of NVR's. But if there are ways we can help alleviate issues for MRG users, I'm game to try. -- Todd OpenPGP -> KeyID: 0xBEAF0CE3 | URL: www.pobox.com/~tmz/pgp ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ After all, there is no position so absurd that you cannot get a great many people to assume it. -- Gore Vidal
