- Free discussion around EPEL
- tibbs mentioned there was a review for an EPEL-only package (tetex-lineno, https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=426929 );The only real issue with that review is what to do with the devel branch.
- it was agreed on that a dead.package-file should in the devel branch (that's what was done) is the best approach
