Summary

 * 00:03 --- | knurd has changed the topic to: EPEL Meeting -- repotags/interaction with 3rd party repos -- owner: all


 * I'm not going to write a summary on this, as this is a very controversial and complicated topic. Sorry. Please read the full log.


 * 00:45 --- | mmcgrath has changed the topic to: EPEL Meeting -- Investigate single RHEL subscription for EPEL maintainers -- quaid


 * "It would be nice to get some RHEL subscriptions for our EPEL people though I think quaid has quite a journey ahead of him first. It may be easier once red hat can more easily realize the value of EPEL. knurd> | I don't think this is high on out todo list; we'll talk about this next time when quaid is around.


 * 00:49 --- | mmcgrath has changed the topic to: EPEL Meeting -- bodhi/testing repo/final repo layout -- nirik/lmacken

like koji modifications that would make the binaries used in the buildroots not publically available."
 * we need to look at converting epel to koji; f13> "there are some roadblocks to that.


 * some discussions around RH management, using RHEL for Building and not CentOS


 * mbonnet will look into enabling koji to make use of a repo htat's not available to the public, which should make it possible to use koji for EPEL


 * lmacken> "bodhi would work with plague if we could get it filesystem access to the build results."
 * he'll likely look into this, too, but making bodhi working for F7 is more important atm
