the EPEL effort. That's fine.  However, it is helpful for EPEL
contributors to know if certain Fedora contributors are interested in
EPEL or not.  For you own sanity, answering the question here one time
should prevent people from asking you again and again if you are going
to build for EPEL.
 
It is especially important for EPEL contributors to know when a Fedora
contributor is not interested in EPEL but maintains a package in
Fedora that might be a dependency of a package the EPEL contributor is
building for EPEL.  The EPEL contributor in this case can simply ask
the Fedora maintainer if it's okay if the EPEL contributor takes care
of the Package for EPEL and thus becomes a
[[Extras/Policy/EncourageComaintainership|  co-maintainer]]  of the
package.
 
Two separate pages linked below try to track the information of which Fedora
contributors want to participate in EPEL or not:
 
{{Admon/note | Adding your username to one of the pages saves you future hassle. | Especially, if you do not plan to participate in EPEL, updating your name should help to prevent other EPEL maintainers from bugging you with [[EPEL/AskForFedoraPackageInEPEL|  email]]  asking you to build your Packages for EPEL. :-)}}
 
* If you don't want to participate in EPEL at all please add your Fedora accounts system username to [[EPEL/ContributorStatusNo| this page]] .


* If you want to clarify that you participate in EPEL feel free to add your Fedora accounts system username to [[EPEL/ContributorStatusYes| this page]] . Then others will know that you are generally interested in EPEL and plan to maintain some of your Fedora packages also in EPEL in the near future. Of course, you don't have to rebuild all your packages if you don't want.
{{Admon/note | If you do not plan to participate to EPEL, please add your accounts system username to [[EPEL/ContributorStatusNo| this page]]. | It should help to prevent other EPEL maintainers from bugging you with EPEL related requests. :-)}}


The information is not binding, change your opinion at any time. It's just meant to help making things easier for the EPEL SIG and other EPEL packagers.

{{Admon/tip | There are [[EPEL/AskForFedoraPackageInEPEL| mail templates]]  for asking Fedora packagers about their EPEL plans in general and to ask about specific packages.  Use them if you'd like to see a Fedora package in EPEL, but do not send them to people who marked down that they do not want to participate in EPEL.}}

Which Fedora Packagers are not interested in EPEL?

Summary

This page is used for tracking which Fedora Contributors are not interested in EPEL.

Details

Not all Fedora Packagers are interested in participating in the EPEL effort. That's fine.

If you do not plan to participate to EPEL, please add your accounts system username to this page.
It should help to prevent other EPEL maintainers from bugging you with EPEL related requests. :-)

The information is not binding, change your opinion at any time. It's just meant to help making things easier for the EPEL SIG and other EPEL packagers.

See the procedures for getting specific packages from Fedora into EPEL. Those procedures also indicate you shouldn't bother people who have said they do not want to participate in EPEL here.
