Hello, my name is Lee, and I am new to the epel-devel-list.
I am looking for the best way to get condor related packages that are currently available in Fedora to become available in EPEL. I've looked through the epel-devel-list history from present back through mid-2007 and see no mention of condor.
After reading https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL/FAQ I'm still not sure how to proceed. I understand that an EPEL package maintainer needs to be determined, and it seems the fedora package maintainer has first dibs on providing the package to EPEL. However, I do not see a way to contact the persons that are maintaining the packages below to see if they would be interested in providing them in EPEL.
I think the wish-list is only for things that are not currently in Fedora. Below are the fedora packages I would like to see in EPEL, how can I proceed to help that happen?
Thx, Lee

In addition to the "admin" pages, you will want to visit Koji: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Koji
Koji is the build system for the Fedora Project, which includes the Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux (EPEL), and has more details on dependencies and other things that could run into possible issues: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/rpminfo?rpmID=1517382
It's always best to do some "due dillgence" on this for any package that has not yet made it to EPEL, as there may already be some reason why it has not.
In the case of Condor, it looks like most dependencies are either in EL or already have EPEL versions -- e.g., gsoap[-devel]: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=143446
As far as finding out how to contact maintainers, the aforementioned rpmID/buildID pages at Koji have the "changelog" with contact e-mails for various maintainers who have built the package. ;)

File bugs on them and ask the maintainer: would you like to maintain this in EPEL as well? or would you prefer someone else do it?
See: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Getting_a_Fedora_package_in_EPEL
That should get directly to the maintainer and be a good record of the question being asked. :)

Without wishing to reopen a can of worms, this should be an interesting test of the recently revised EPEL policy on duplicating RH packages since these are already in RHEMRG. e.g.
ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/enterprise/5Server/en/RHEMRG/SRPMS/condor-7.4.1-0.7.1.el5.src.rpm

Indeed, it's a can of worms... In this case both rawhide and F12 has condor-7.4.1-1 and also RHEL has the 7.4.1 version so that shouldn't be much of a problem. But I think a lot of trouble can be avoided if the version pushed to EPEL would have a release number _lower_ then -0.7.1.

It should not be a can of worms. RHEL-AP does not have Condor. RHE-MRG does but is not as common as RHEL. In most cases if you are going to use a sub-channel, you should not add EPEL, RPMforge, etc on that system without some testing to see what might override X, Y , and Z.
Kevin, I submitted a request for condor via bugzilla as you suggested below. It is assigned to matt@redhat.com . We'll see how it proceeds...
Thx, Lee

Hi Lee, Did you manage to make any progress with checking condor and EPEL. Steve.

Steve, Thank you for your inquiry.
I exchanged messages with Matt Farrelle (matt@redhat.com) via bugzilla comments. I also recently spoke with Matt personally at condor week 2010. Matt maintains the condor package in fedora, as well the classads package which is the only non-EPEL package that condor depends upon. I believe Matt is also involved in Redhat's MRG product.
Matt is not interested in branching the condor and classads packages for EPEL. He gave me permission to branch them into EPEL, and he asked to be listed as a co-maintainer for those packages in EPEL, in case he needs to fix something down the road. He also asked me to let him know if I had any problems or questions.
The purpose of this paragraph is to let you know that I don't know how long it will be before I actually can do the work of packaging condor in EPEL: Steve, I am a member of fedora (pretty new to fedora), but I am not yet a fedora package maintainer (much less an EPEL package maintainer). I have my first package (gretl) in a stat that I think is pretty close to done, but I have not touched it since returning from condor week. (I want to do a couple more changes to it before submitting it, and I also need to figure out currently unknown dependencies [fails to build in mock])
If you, Steve, or anybody else is interested in branching condor and classads into EPEL, I think that would be great. It should be pretty easy since Matt already has it building on RHEL 5.
Anybody interested?
- Lee
