Hi,
just a heads up; the current plan is to officially announce EPEL on
Thursday, 26th 2007. Yes, that's one week later that estimated last
week, as we need a bit more time to fix all broken deps before the
announcement.
While at it: Note that new and updated packages for EPEL will go to into
EPEL-testing repo after the announcement (ยน) and get moved to the proper
repo at a later point of time. The plan is to do the move from testing
to the proper repo in parallel with the "quarterly" EL-releases like
RHEL 5.1.
Have you folks decided where and how the announcements should be send?
Fedora announce list
RHEL 4 and 5 lists and announce lists
Red Hat press release
