Week 44/2007

Most important happenings

 * Seems testing stable move went well; at least we only got one complaint of a broken dep, which was fixed ;-)


 * Some discussions about redistributing EPEL binaries; see this thread: https://www.redhat.com/archives/epel-devel-list/2007-November/msg00005.html


 * EPEL will now only keep only one version of a packages in testing (e.g. only the latest one and not one older one in addition, as done in the proper repos); see https://www.redhat.com/archives/epel-devel-list/2007-November/msg00000.html
