= Weekly EPEL Summary =
Week 45/2007
== Most important happenings ==
* nothing earthshaking
== Mailing list ==
=== Noteworthy discussions ===
* RHEL 5.1 --
https://www.redhat.com/archives/epel-devel-list/2007-November/msg00035.html
* EPEL builders are still RHEL 5.0; moving to RHEL 5.1 now on bears
the risk that we break users of CentOS 5.0; no real outcome from the
discussion yet; more discussion needed
* Lots of packages wanted --
https://www.redhat.com/archives/epel-devel-list/2007-November/msg00020.html
and
https://www.redhat.com/archives/epel-devel-list/2007-November/msg00024.html
* lots of deps of bugzilla are not yet in EPEL (lots of them: perl);
lot's of packages that a 3rd party repo would need to compile
xine-lib-extras-nonfree, mplayer and similar stuff are still missing as
well; help needed;

==== Attendees: ====

* [:KevinFenzi:nirik]
==== Summary ====
*
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL/Tasks/NextTestingStableMove did
the last move went well?
* nirik> | I think the last move went pretty well... do we want to
schedule them for specific times?
* mmcgrath> | nirik: I'd schedule a time then see if the list wants us
to change it. It could be a while before the next move. although,
since its just you and me, perhaps the list would be better, or just
wait till the next meeting to talk about it.
* nirik> | yeah, I would be happy with once a month or something, then
the question is how long something needs to be in testing.
*
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL/Tasks/NextTestingStableMove when
to do the move in EL4?
* nirik> | I can try and work on it I guess... plan on perhaps next
monday? let the f8 release suck up all the bw, etc.
* Clamav
* nirik is working on it
* why don't the broken dep reports go to the list?
* mmcgrath> | A) The script we use, for some reason, can take a long
time to run and B) no one's done the work.
* mmcgrath posted to the list asking people to help so it gets posted
to the list
*
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL/Tasks/Misc -- how to get all the
missing rpmfusion and bugzilla deps into EPEL and the wishlist empty as
well?
* mmcgrath> | I say, Add them to the wish list and get to contacting
each packager one by one until everything is in.
* nirik> | I think contacting maintainers is the best way... and if
they don't answer branching, etc.
