Topics:
- RHEL MetaData | stahnma | http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL/Tasks/RhelMetaData
- stahnma> I have been working on a something that spits out requires/provides/filelisting etc for each rpm . I am actually surprised repoview doesn't have something like that
- stuff will be hosted on fedorapeople
- No ETA; stahnma> "I was hoping to have it done today, but that didn't happen ; maybe next coupel weeks. Holidays screw up schedules "
- KojiAndBodhiForEpel
- mmcgrath> the wheels are in motion to try to get funding for an intern but nothing concrete yet.
- RHEL 5.1 (and 4.6) for the builders
- thats done now, right?
- how to do it next time still under discussion
- nirik> | another issue related here: updates for builders? would it be hard to get them to pull updates into the buildroot ?
- mmcgrath> | If we decide thats what we want to do we'll also have to figure out a way to do it. Right now going from RHEL5 -> 5.1 involved me downloading the DVD's, copying RPM's over and running createrepo.
- more on the list
- nirik> | I updated the page... if everyone could look and correct/add/modify, feel free.
- Free discussion
- anything planned on EPEL at FUDcon? Maybe a EPEL meeting at fudcon... perhaps a 'Fedora maintainers intro to EPEL' ?
- stahnma> | also, it's great to see so many new packages in EPEL lately
- nirik> | I am still working on getting munin in... need some more perl deps. Will probibly start on Xfce over the holidays too.
