Right -- the question is whether Red Hat actually cares about what is going on in EPEL when they choose packages for inclusion in RHEL proper. I was always under the impression that RHEL and EPEL had an established working relationship that went both ways -- but perhaps not all RHEL devs are aware of the work we do with EPEL? Maybe this is just an awareness campaign waiting to happen? :) Regards, -- Konstantin Ryabitsev Montréal, Québec _______________________________________________ epel-devel-list mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/epel-devel-list
