--- Comment #29 from Fotis Georgatos fotis@cern.ch --- btw. about:
Don't know why cern guys love el only...
just for the record: The LCG (LHC Computing Grid) has been depending on SL5/6 for many many years now; as you may be aware, SL is a derivative of RHEL line, really => target is EPEL.
What I come to realize is, that you guys expect that at first things end up in the Fedora/rawhide pool and only *then* they can end-up towards EPEL etc. I think this should be spelled out more clearly/often and this is where the confusion came from. (at least in my case, I didn't realize the cycle is kinda obligatory)
Also, good practice here implies to prefer rawhide regardless; this is contrary to: "For packages in EPEL, you have to use the component epel to get the request to the right persons." , found at: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Join_the_package_collection_maintainers?rd=Pa...
I guess sending the gentle reminders around would help plenty of fellows!
