[EPEL-devel] Re: [new / help wanted] fence-agents-epel package

[Alex Talaran]

wouldnt think make split packages vs all the agents just in the -epel 
package as i originally submitted? im fine either way just not clear.
do i need to make other changes or does the rest seem ok since i am not 
tied to requiring man pages?

If you look at my attachment in my previous email I have them set that way.

[EPEL-devel] Re: [new / help wanted] fence-agents-epel package

[Troy Dawson]

For the names, the source rpm needs to have the -epel suffice
(fence-agents-epel) but then all the "missing" packages have the same name
they would have if they were in RHEL or Fedora.  So in this case they would
be

fence-agents-pve
fence-agents-raritan
fence-agents-rcd-serial
fence-agents-virsh

If you look at my attachment in my previous email I have them set that way.
