Hi all,
A month or so ago I posted to this list and asked a few questions about
EPEL, RHX, and Fedora proper. I was trying to understand the repository
structure and how things fit together. If you are interested in reading
the discussion you can find it below:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/epel-devel-list/2008-January/msg00094.html
The basic problem we discussed is that Zenoss requires Python 2.4, and
since FC8 (and above) use Python 2.5 we elected to ship our own Python
installation alongside our application. The recommended practice you
all suggested was to rely on the compat-python24 package to provide
/usr/bin/python2.4 and use that instead.
I wanted to bring you all up to date with our efforts. We've moved
ahead with your suggestion and have assembled a binary FC8 RPM (i386 and
x86_64) that depends on compat-python24. I can provide our .spec and
.tar.gz file, or I can provide a .src.rpm.
What is the next logical step in the progression towards our inclusion
in the EPEL repository? We're very excited about becoming official
members of your community and would like to know what we need to do to
be included in your group.
Assuming you are interested in maintaining the software package on a
continuous basis within EPEL, refer

If you need help, feel free to ask here or in #epel IRC channel in
freenode.
