EPEL repository admin information
This page has information for EPEL repository admins. These people must be in the Fedora Account System "epel_signers" group.
All new packages get pushed to "testing/5" (or 4) instead of "5" (or 4).
You can pass the repository you wish to operate on on the command line:
For example:
RepoBuild.py EPEL testing/5
RepoBuild.py EPEL 5
RepoPrune.py EPEL testing/4
Comps.py EPEL testing/5
etc.
The List.py script will list the packages that would be operated on:
List.py EPEL 5
The ToStable.py script will move a package from testing to stable.
ToStable.py EPEL 5 foo
ToStable.py EPEL 5 foo bar baz
This moves all the src.rpm with %name and all the binaries build from it from "testing/5" to "5" and even writes a proper BuildReport.
For Security-updates that should go directly to stable there is a new option "--stable":
PushPackage.py EPEL 5 foo --stable
An "epel-push all" (with or without -c) detects changes and does all the requires steps (repobuild, repoprune, multilib etc.) to push the stuff out.
