Thanks for all the work! I've some personal experience of shifting to major new releases, and the adventures involved in re-engineering the build environments for compatibity. You've my sympathy.
Would it make sense to have a "yum-conf-epel-release-beta", to be obsoleted by an upcoming "yum-conf-epel-release"? It's an important repo for "mock" and a number of Perl modules, at least for me. I'd be happy to submit a spec file in a day or two, if it would help.
Yeah, whatever will we do without the package in extras? I mean how did anyone ever manage to install EPEL in previous releases of CentOS?
Really? Didn't I *just* go on a mini-rant about this 12 hours ago?
If you really want to do this, you have to take a lesson from Chris StPierre and be willing to go all the way with a full-blown profanity-laden diatribe. This is hardly worth it.
Ok, all sarcasm aside: yum --nogpgcheck install http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/beta/7/x86_64/epel-release-7-0.2.noarch...
There, problem solved.
I'm told the wait shouldn't be that much longer anyway. I don't claim to speak for the Fedora/EPEL folks so I can't say when. If one of them wants to chime in, they can.
