hi,
We've now got quite a few downstream rpms from EPEL being built and managed in CBS. And it might be worth restarting the conversation around automating part of the relationship.
As a cbs consumer, what makes the most sense ?
1) We fork EPEL completely, for all arch's into CBS, and just build everything into a target at cbs, and let folks pick and tag into their own targets as they see fit.
2) we setup a way to monitor EPEL changes, and notify folks who built a package in cbs, that now has a newer version or an update in EPEL. this can ( might need to ? ) be email based for now.
Having setup (1) and (2) we will still need a way to do (2) even if we do (1).
thoughts ?

I've thought long and hard about it, and I'm not keen on forking. What I would like is a somewhat automated import for select packages. However, we can't exactly trust Fedora git, what matters is what Bodhi pushes instead...
