Weekly EPEL Summary
Week 45/2007
Most important happenings
- nothing earthshaking
Mailing list
Noteworthy discussions
- EPEL builders are still RHEL 5.0; moving to RHEL 5.1 now on bears the risk that we break users of CentOS 5.0; no real outcome from the discussion yet; more discussion needed
- Lots of packages wanted -- https://www.redhat.com/archives/epel-devel-list/2007-November/msg00020.html and https://www.redhat.com/archives/epel-devel-list/2007-November/msg00024.html
- lots of deps of bugzilla are not yet in EPEL (lots of them: perl); lot's of packages that a 3rd party repo would need to compile xine-lib-extras-nonfree, mplayer and similar stuff are still missing as well; help needed;

Summary
- http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL/Tasks/NextTestingStableMove did the last move went well?
- nirik> | I think the last move went pretty well...
do we want to schedule them for specific times?
- mmcgrath> | nirik: I'd schedule a time then see if the list wants us to change it. It could be a while before the next move.
although, since its just you and me, perhaps the list would be better, or just wait till the next meeting to talk about it.
- nirik> | yeah, I would be happy with once a month or something, then the question is how long something needs to be in testing.
- http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL/Tasks/NextTestingStableMove when to do the move in EL4?
- nirik> | I can try and work on it I guess...
plan on perhaps next monday? let the f8 release suck up all the bw, etc.
- Clamav
- nirik is working on it
- why don't the broken dep reports go to the list?
- mmcgrath> | A) The script we use, for some reason, can take a long time to run and B) no one's done the work.
- mmcgrath posted to the list asking people to help so it gets posted to the list
- http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL/Tasks/Misc -- how to get all the missing rpmfusion and bugzilla deps into EPEL and the wishlist empty as well?
- mmcgrath> | I say, Add them to the wish list and get to contacting each packager one by one until everything is in.
- nirik> | I think contacting maintainers is the best way... and if they don't answer branching, etc.
