Hi, the future versions of scap-security-guide will be packaged in the RHEL
repositories directly, as per the email you are replying to.
See https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL/GuidelinesAndPolicies
"When a package is added to RHEL that is already in EPEL, we need to block
it from being updated in EPEL."
This means that no, you don't have to always build it from the repository.
You can install it from the RHEL repository. It will however no longer be
updated in EPEL. I hope all is clear now.
