They were added to our buildsystem a while back because they contained dependencies that were used by epel packages. There wasn't a formal request that I know of, but it was requested by several maintainers. I suppose we could look at dropping them. I'm not sure which epel packages that would affect off hand, but can find out. > I'll let you folks go do your thing again without more interference > from me but the inconsistent treatment of these two channels bothers > me, in part because I'd like to see things from those channels more > than from other Add-On channels. :) You would like to see them in epel? or would like to see them not in epel since you use those channels and don't want conflicts? kevin
