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 :
But for those who do not have prior knowledge, like it or not, yum install epel-release is way easier than to follow "go read our wiki page on adding 3rd party repos and pay attention to priorities". Yes, I know, they should read/learn. But helping them by excluding the "hunt for epel-release and install it" part will not hurt.
And yum install http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/i386/epel-release-6-7 is hard?
Googling "install epel-release" gets the following url: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL/FAQ#How_can_I_install_the_packages_from_t...
If they can find IRC they should be able to follow enough directions to google as above.
Oh and in case it is not clear I am in the do nothing camp.
Regards,
