Me too, except I foresee one problem with this. Joe User enables the
EPEL repo, and is ignorant of the fact that it now includes updates to
packages included in base RHEL. [...]
No, that's not what I meant ;-)
Sorry, should have been more clear in my mail. With "in parallel to the
packages from EL" I meant: EL continues to ship for example speex as
speex-1.0.5-4.el5_1.1, and we ship speex 1.2 as "speex12-1.2-4" or
something with its contents in a special path. Of cause all apps in EPEL
that need that speex then need special treatment to look in that special
path for speex.
