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.
For information, Scientific Linux adds various 3rd party repo release files to their distro although AFAIK none are installed by default. See here:
http://www.scientificlinux.org/distributions/6x/features/added
yum repositories Summary : Various Yum Repositories These are not supported by Scientific Linux but are here for your convenience.
This is not installed by default. -- adobe-release -- atrpms-repo -- elrepo-release -- epel-release -- rpmforge-release
I'd also suggest adding ELRepo...
I should declare an interest in that I'm a member of elrepo.
We have worked with SL where needed to ensure the elrepo-release package is kept up to date within their repositories and try to maintain consistent / stable behaviour and a minimal release schedule consistent with an Enterprise Linux distribution.
I personally have no objections / concerns with CentOS including our repo release package should you so want, but I feel it inappropriate for me to offer further opinion on the matter given my vested interest in the subject :-)
