As you may have noticed, the RHEL 6 Beta released today. For more details about RHEL 6, look here: http://press.redhat.com/2010/04/21/red-hat-enterprise-linux-6-beta-available-today-for-public-download/
But, I'm here to let you know some of the specific changes of relevance for EPEL. Quite a few source rpms were added to RHEL 6 which were previously in EPEL.

which were present in RHEL 5, but are absent in RHEL 6. Most of these packages are accounted for because of the dropping of gtk+ support, updating of configuration tools, standardization on hunspell, move from scim to ibus, or the move to KDE4. Some are just obsolete, and others were removed for space concerns. Some of them might be interesting for EPEL: PyQt (PyQt4 is in RHEL 6) adjtimex agg alchemist am-utils amanda aspell-af aspell-bg aspell-br aspell-ca aspell-cs aspell-cy aspell-da aspell-de aspell-el aspell-en aspell-es aspell-fo aspell-fr aspell-ga aspell-gd aspell-gl aspell-hr aspell-id aspell-is aspell-it aspell-nl aspell-no aspell-pl aspell-pt aspell-ru aspell-sl aspell-sr aspell-sv automake17 beecrypt bitstream-vera-fonts bluez-hcidump bogl bootparamd cadaver cairo-java convmv cyrus-imapd dasher desktop-backgrounds distcache emacspeak epic eruby etherboot exim exim-doc fbset fonts-ISO8859-2 (in xorg-x11-fonts-misc now) fonts-KOI8-R (in xorg-x11-fonts-misc now) fribidi gdk-pixbuf gftp glade2 glib glib-java gnome-mime-data gnome-netstatus gnome-nettool gphoto2 gtk+ hfsutils icon-slicer ifd-egate inn ipsec-tools ipv6calc irda-utils jakarta-commons-fileupload jakarta-commons-launcher jakarta-commons-modeler jakarta-commons-validator joe joystick jpilot kcc kdbg kdeaddons kdevelop kdewebdev kdnssd-avahi kudzu libFS libbtctl libgconf-java libglade-java libgnome-java libgssapi libgtk-java libibcommon libsilc libvte-java lv man-pages-de mikmod mod_python nedit nss_ldap pam_ccreds pam_smb privoxy procinfo psgml pvm python-numeric rarpd rdist scim scim-anthy scim-bridge scim-chewing scim-hangul scim-m17n scim-pinyin scim-tables scribus slrn specspo splint squirrelmail stardict statserial struts switchdesk sysklogd system-config-bind system-config-boot system-config-display system-config-httpd system-config-netboot system-config-nfs system-config-rootpassword system-config-samba system-switch-mail tomcat5 (tomcat6 is in RHEL 6) unifdef uucp xcdroast xen xmlrpc xmlsec1 xorg-x11-drv-s3 (now named xorg-x11-drv-s3virge) xorg-x11-resutils xorg-x11-xfs xorg-x11-xfwp xorg-x11-xsm xsri yum-updatesd zisofs-tools Hope that is helpful, ~spot _______________________________________________ epel-devel-list mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/epel-devel-list
