hi guys,
One bit of feedback at LinuxCon this year from people was that we should ship epel with a lower barrier to entry. And I have mixed feelings about that. But I wanted to know what everyone else thinks about :
- Shipping epel-release in CentOS-Extras, so its installable, usable
out of the box.
- Shipping epel-release in the distro itself, with the epel repos's
enabled=false. This is the option that most people seem to want, but I am least keen on.
- do nothing, leave things as they are.
Apologies for my delayed response. (I'm still in "catch-up" mode.)
If EPEL were to tag their RPM packages such that the package ownership is perfectly clear I would vote for (1). Unfortunately EPEL declines to tag their packages, so my vote is thus (3).
