Summary
- http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL/PackageMaintainer/GenericJobDescription and http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL/CommunicationPlan -- quaid
- both were approved -- nobody complained on the list last time it was discussed (that was some weeks ago) and we can easily updated when people want to see something changed
- task--quaid: put it properly in the wiki (link on the frontpage, everywhere else where needed? and similar stuff)
- http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL/Tasks/Rhel51 -- unassigned
- new ask page created by knurd to track preparations we likely should do for 5.1
- when to remove yum-utils and other packages that are not part of RHEL?
- leave the package in the repo until at least CentOS catches up, then drop them?
- nirik> | I'm happy to work on bugging people about broken deps and trying to work on the repo for the next testing/final move.
- skipped
- moving to bodhi requires that we switch to koji, which first needs the ability to hide RHEL binaries from the world
- yum-cron
- things are in the works to get this issue fixed; see https://www.redhat.com/archives/epel-devel-list/2007-September/msg00087.html
- do more on the list and less in the meetings; "Power to the people with no delay." aka "make Steering Committee nearly unimportant" and "new schedule page"
- some discussions around this to improve workflow and do stuff like "if nobody complains on the list (or in the IRC meetings) its simply considered accepted"
- knurd> | it's just a general idea IMHO; we just need to find way to realize that idea; the new stuff in the wiki is a first step for I hope we do more, but I don't know yet exactly what to do; suggestions welcomed
- Free discussion around EPEL
- nirik> | I have almost caught up on security checking for epel...
- nirik> | there are some packages that were never built, but have branches. Might be good if we could gather a list of those and ping maintainers to build or work on deps to build
- nirik> | finally, did we ever determine about pushing from testing->stable more often? Or should I bring that up on the list again?
- we prepare one; will decide if we just do it or if we do it together with 5.1
- dep scripts running for testing these days? mmcgrath> | knurd: I don't think they are, I'll do that now.
- task--mmcgrath -- dep scripts running for testing
