--- Comment #1 from Jason Tibbitts tibbs@math.uh.edu --- Oh, hey, it appears that on EPEL6 (and 7, though that doesn't block my work) the fontpackages macros are actually part of EPEL. Which means I can pretty much never expect to be able to use a fix.
I'll see if I can't just override the macros in my own macro package and be done with it. Might be worth fixing the bug in the branches you actually control, but I guess it's not such a big deal.
