I've been trying to help with this. I strongly believe that Fedora must be allowed to move forward (and be cleaned up) without having to worry about what EPEL is going to do, but even then there are plenty of opportunities for EPEL to get some of those advancements as well. Now that we have epel-rpm-macros we can try to "backport" some of the packaging progress that Fedora is making, though of course we'll never be able to do everything. And there is an issue about EPEL packaging differing from RHEL packaging, or packaging for other add-on repositories. So it's a complex issue. Also note that the EPEL guidelines can be edited by anyone, so if something is missing or unclear, then anyone can fix it. - J< _______________________________________________ epel-devel mailing list epel-devel@lists.fedoraproject.org http://lists.fedoraproject.org/admin/lists/epel-devel@lists.fedoraproject.org
