I am checking which package I'd like to put in EPEL and it appears that
some informations are lacking, that I can find easily with rpmfind (for
example), but I cannot for RHEL. Here is a list of things I would like
to do, from a non Centos/RHEL box, or from another Centos/RHEL version,
of course. Do you have guidance on how to do it?
mock + chroot? Or install CentOS in a VM?
Keep in mind that I would
like something easy, (like what rpmfind provides, for example) not something
complicated (like download all the srpms and work out from the spec
files):
* find whether a package is in RHEL or not
Simply look at the CentOS dir like?
http://ftp-stud.fht-esslingen.de/pub/Mirrors/centos/5/os/x86_64/CentOS/
* find whether a file is in RHEL or not, and in which package
* find whether a provides is in RHEL or not, and provided by which
package
* find the list of files and provides of a package in RHEL
I've never used rpmfind, but if it can serve you this information for
Fedora it might be able to serve it for CentOS as well (which "aims to
be 100% binary compatible").
