</div>Lets just get specific here an explain why this can be sticky.<br>
<br>
OK, so repoforge and EPEL do not play nicely together. We would, in my<br>
opinion, only be able to include one or the other release file in our<br>
extras repo as installing both produces broken yum installs of packages.<br>
<br>
That is but one example.<br>
<br>
I personally would have no real problem with both an epel-release and an<br>
elrepo-release RPM in CentOS Extras ... but then why not also<br>
nux-desktop or remi or repoforge? Those will not all work together, who<br>
do we leave out?<br>
<br>
Both EPEL and ELRepo have said they do not want to be a CentOS SIG and<br>
want to be "independent". We have offered and they have refused .. Okay<br>
fine, that is their choice, they are independent. If you want them in<br>
CentOS, tell them on their lists to join as a CentOS SIG.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Just to be clear here.. EPEL doesn't have an organization which could say yay or nay on it. It is a anarcho-syndicalist commune at best (an autonomous commune would be going to far). Some people say yay, some people say nay, some people say whats in it for me. I expect that most are waiting to see how the CentOS SIGs get put into place and release stuff with 7 to see what they want to do.</div>
