I think it is still current policy; as another follow-up to that package list said, it needed to be checked for exactly what you said. > I'm sure I've suggested this before but I don't see why the > epel-release package can't add a "cost" of >1000 (e.g. 1001) to the > epel repos so that identical packages would always be picked up from > RHEL in preference to EPEL. That should be looked at as well, but there's no point in maintaining a package in EPEL that won't ever be used. -- Chris Adams <[email protected]> Systems and Network Administrator - HiWAAY Internet Services I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble. _______________________________________________ epel-devel-list mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/epel-devel-list
