• some discussions about collecting and publishing statistics

• branch for EPEL if Fedora maintainer does not react

• more discussions on the list

• new push scripts for pushing to testing, adjust mock configs to use

• dgilmore will take care of it

• dgilmore> | does anyone have ideas on how to get more packages in EPEL? nirik> | I have some more I am going to do, but haven't had time... hopefully soon I will get munin in and possibly will look at Xfce (matching the centos extra versions so we don't conflict if possible)
