 * more discussions on the list


 * new push scripts for pushing to testing, adjust mock configs to use


 * dgilmore will take care of it

 * dgilmore> | does anyone have ideas on how to get more packages in EPEL? nirik> | I have some more I am going to do, but haven't had time... hopefully soon I will get munin in and possibly will look at Xfce (matching the centos extra versions so we don't conflict if possible)
