Hi
I noticed that yum-utils is now in EPEL. I removed it from the
wishlist when I saw that RHEL 5.1 beta is including this package but
it has gone in anyway.
The list of new packages included in RHEL 5.1 beta is available in
the announcement at
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.redhat.release.tikanga.beta/844
yum-utils would have to be removed or version adjusted from atleast
EPEL 5 so as to not conflict with RHEL 5.1 when it's released. I
haven't done a comprehensive check so there might be other similar
packages in the list. Just a quick heads up.
I did a check of all the packages in the beta announcement back when it
came out.
The following are packages in epel-5 that are going to be in RHEL-5.1:
yum-utils
dnsmasq
python-imaging
perl-TimeDate
All of the RHEL-5.1 packages are newer than the ones in epel-5, so
upgrades should work fine.
I think once 5.1 is out those packages should be dead.packaged in
epel-5 and we just go on with the ones in RHEL-5.1...
Does anyone spot anything I missed with this?
