Note that CentOS doesn't do any of the channel stuff, all of base, optional, etc all just are in their base repo IIRC. and that is > why it misses ppc64 arch [1] IIRC.

Yeah, I started looking at the spec and saw that comment as well. > If you could fix these 2 packages may the best is remove po4a from > epel7 repo , if it is possible ... or bump epoch on RHEL7 ... Well, We can push out a lower version of the package, but people who already have the newer one installed will just still have that. It would fix new installs and the like though. We definitely don't want to add an Epoch, because the idea is that we keep the EPEL package "older" than the RHEL one so people who install get the official one (if available on their arch). kevin signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature ___ epel-devel mailing list -- epel-devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to epel-devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org

BTW it also misses on ppc64, perl- gettext [2], maybe should be good also coordinate the fix of this package too. If you could fix these 2 packages may the best is remove po4a from epel7 repo , if it is possible ... or bump epoch on RHEL7 ...
