Which Fedora Packagers are interested in EPEL?
Summary
This page is used for tracking which Fedora Contributors are interested in EPEL (or not).
Details
Not all Fedora (Extras) Packagers are interested in participating in 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 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:
Especially, if you do not plan to participate in EPEL, updating your name should help to prevent other EPEL maintainers from bugging you with 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 this page .
- If you want to clarify that you participate in EPEL feel free to add your Fedora accounts system username to 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.
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.
