Overall, looks great. A few comments below.
= Weekly EPEL Summary =
Week 19/2007
== Most important happenings ==
* Axel Thimm left the EPEL SIG and the EPEL Steering Committee; see
https://www.redhat.com/archives/epel-devel-list/2007-May/msg00019.html
for details. The Steering Committee is looking for a replacement.
Unfortunate. We wish Axel the best.
* the Steering Committee elected knurd as its chairmen; stahnma
will
act as backup
Could we use Real Names instead of IRC nicks? I know who knurd is but I
don't know who stahnma is.
* now that the RHEL5 rebuild is finished knurd will send a "if
you
waited for a start signal to build your packages for EPEL this is it"
mail over the next few days to fedora-maintainers
* repotags -- some discussion in the meeting again. It looks like it
will we'll continue without repotags (final decision probably in next
weeks meeting, after this summary has been posted and discussed). If you
want repotags please *speak up now* and *help* to find a technical
solution that is not only fine for the EPEL Steering Committee, but also
acceptable for the Fedora Packaging Committee and FESCo -- from
discussions on list and on IRC it looks like that some members of those
groups tend to be against using repotags (see this weeks FESCo meeting
for example) or want to see something cooperation statements signed by
EPEL and 3rd party repos before they are willing to accept repotags.
Just some clarification. Yes, FESCo overall didn't see a good reason to
use repotags. If EPEL chooses to do so, FESCo won't stand in the way.
It would be unfortunate, however, if EPEL and FESCo packaging guidelines
diverged.
