Maybe my wording was unclear, but I didn't mean to wait for EPEL 6. In fact I'd like to see this group soon, to make sure it works by RHEL 6 ;-) > We need something to get the rest of the packages into EPEL. Just my 2 cent, but I'd say getting the "rest of the packages" into EPEL is the totally wrong target -- EPEL packages IMHO need to have proper maintainers that take care of their packages. We have that now, but if we start to let a "epel task force" group of say 10 or 20 packagers(¹) comaintain the "rest of the Fedora packages" (about 2500 - 3000 now IIRC) in EPEL then I think the quality will drop significantly. IOW: better to grow a bit slower, but maintain a decent quality Of course nobody is stopping anybody to slowly start with testing the "epel task force" concept with smaller targets -- like getting the "rest of the perl packages" into EPEL. This is what some people do already afaics, but we don't call those people "epel perl task force" yet ;-) CU knurd (¹) I doubt that we find so many _______________________________________________ epel-devel-list mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/epel-devel-list
