Why do this instead of EPEL?
Well ... if someone wants to also put it in EPEL, then that is fine with me.
However, we don't want to release CentOS-5.2 broken, and we think that
not having that package after upgrading the gtkhtml3 ABI to a new
version is broken.
We have users/customers who have built custom software using gtkhtml3
and we think that when we provide CentOS-5.2 with a new gtkhtml3 that we
also need to provide a compat package for their custom enterprise
software. In fact, I don't understand why it is not being provided
upstream.
We have a centos-extras repo for just such items.
Thanks,
