Addressing this from the CentOS point of view, in that lots of

users consume EPEL as well : We would be happy to bridge that gap and
host stuff like glusterfs directly in CentOS-Extras, which is setup
and enabled by default on all CentOS installs.
However, I am slightly concerned about this move. Glusterfs is a
single example : there are a lot of things that are shipped by Red
Hat under various variants and layered products that overlap with
content hosted in EPEL - including stuff like puppet, mongodb, lots
of python-* and ruby-* etc; so rather than single out glusterfs and
drop it, please clarify the policy.
I agree. This is not just about glusterfs.
My, as an outsider understanding, has been that components
unsuiteable
for EPEL include exclusively content hosted at ftp.r.c under the OS/
dir
- I suspect this is the impression carried forward by many ( if not
most ) people.
Yeah, and at launch time of EPEL6 thats pretty much what it was, since
there were not really any other additional channels available then.
Things have changed over time however. ;)
