Based on some of the previous discussions on this thread, my own self-interests and looking around why not settle for "epel-rawhide" repo that could serve both as a QA stage for packages in EPEL and for the category of users who need "latest and greatest" version of package in RHEL.
I do believe both groups: a) users who want stable b) users who want latest are quite sizable and have enough people involved to power such move. To address the security concerns: we need something that will require version bump whenever upstream drops maintenance of the currently packaged version in EPEL and there are no takers for backports within a week. That should minimize backporting efforts. just my $.02CDN -- Dmitry Makovey Web Systems Administrator Athabasca University (780) 675-6245 --- Confidence is what you have before you understand the problem Woody Allen When in trouble when in doubt run in circles scream and shout http://www.wordwizard.com/phpbb3/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=19330
