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 )

regards,

I'd go with 1.

Elrepo should be considered, too.
