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.
The information that pyrpkg is needed for using centpkg.py is in the readme on the git.centos.org site in the centpkg repo.
EPEL release will indeed be part of c7-extras .. and also c5 and c6, after the EPEL 7 repo comes out of beta.
Until then, if someone is not smart enough to figure out how to make centpkg to work with git.centos.org because they can't find a python dep, then they likely should not be trying to build packages from git in the first place.
It should also be noted that the other published python tool in centos-common-git needs the package 'python-requests' which is in the EPEL repo. That is also in the readme for centos-common-git on the site as well.
