I see that centpkg is dependent on pyrpkg from EPEL, and expects one
to do 'yum install pyrpkg'. That requires manual activation of the
EPEL repository: Is the EPEL 3rd party repository stable enough for
RHEL and CentOS 7 yet? This could be GPL copied over straight from
Scientific Linux, from at
http://ftp2.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/6/SRPMS/SL/yum-conf-epel-6-1.1.src.rpm.
Or perhaps our CentOS developers have some internal tool they use to
configure this?

I hope that CentOS can have EPEL as a supported optional yum
configuration,  if EPEL is going to be critical for using tools like
centpkg.
