--- Comment #29 from Fotis Georgatos <fo...@cern.ch> ---
btw. about:
> Don't know why cern guys love el only... 

just for the record:
The LCG (LHC Computing Grid) has been depending on SL5/6 for many many years
now; as you may be aware, SL is a derivative of RHEL line, really => target is
EPEL.

What I come to realize is, that you guys expect that at first things end up in
the Fedora/rawhide pool and only *then* they can end-up towards EPEL etc. I
think this should be spelled out more clearly/often and this is where the
confusion came from. (at least in my case, I didn't realize the cycle is kinda
obligatory)

Also, good practice here implies to prefer rawhide regardless; this is contrary
to: "For packages in EPEL, you have to use the component epel to get the
request to the right persons." , found at:

I guess sending the gentle reminders around would help plenty of fellows!
