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-.... 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.
Relying on EPEL for now is just a convenience to allow for quicker initial development. There was some talk of pulling pyrpkg into a CentOS repo proper, but we haven't had a full conversation yet about what to do with packages that conflict (such a policy will probably provide some guidance for the SIGs as well). I should say, I'm not part of the Core SIG so I hope I've characterized the situation correctly. Once there's a conflict policy in place centpkg will be updated to comply with that.
