Hello Tobi,
Thank you for your question posted here today.
EPEL is going to be needed by IUS as our packages are built against many
packages
with in the EPEL repository. If you choose to not enable EPEL, your packages
that require
EPEL we be unable to install.
The good news is EPEL's policy is not to allow any package in the repo that has
already been
created in Enterprise Linux. EPEL Stands for 'Extra Pacakages for Enterprise
Linux'.
See the explanation on EPEL's site (http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL):
EPEL packages are usually based on their Fedora counterparts and will never
conflict with
or replace packages in the base Enterprise Linux distributions.
IUS provides 'Replacement Packages' this is why our naming convention is as it
is, since RHEL provices
php we have to name our php replacement packages as php52 and php53u.
Hopefully with this information you feel safer about keeping the EPEL
repository installed and enabled.
