Subject: [CentOS-devel] Shipping an EPEL release
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 :
1) Shipping epel-release in CentOS-Extras, so its installable, usable out of the box.
2) 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.
3) do nothing, leave things as they are.
Ofcourse, if we do either (1) or (2) we would need to set some sort of a baseline standard that allows other repo's to be included as well ( as + if they meet the baseline standard )
