Hi all,
A month or so ago I posted to this list and asked a few questions
about EPEL, RHX, and Fedora proper. I was trying to understand the
repository structure and how things fit together. If you are
interested in reading the discussion you can find it below:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/epel-devel-list/2008-January/msg00094.html
The basic problem we discussed is that Zenoss requires Python 2.4, and
since FC8 (and above) use Python 2.5 we elected to ship our own Python
installation alongside our application. The recommended practice you
all suggested was to rely on the compat-python24 package to provide /
usr/bin/python2.4 and use that instead.
Ok, catching up with things.. sorry for my delay. It looks like we
will want to follow the process laid out in the FAQ:
-----
Is it possible to get a package only into EPEL and not Fedora?
Simply go through the review process for Fedora and specify only EL
targets for the initial import. But note that maintaining packages in
Fedora has many advantages for you, you should really consider
maintaining the package in both Fedora and EPEL.

Just the zenos or some of the ones that you say you patche?
