It's quite a stetch from "no repotags" to conclude "EPEL has no interest" in compatibility.
In fact, epel (and fedora) repo is, by design and policy, supposed to be compatible and considerate of other repos, e.g. most notably, http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackageMaintainers/RepositoryCollaboration (among other project policy documents).
When I posted the aforementioned repository collaboration document to the rpmforge list(s) for comment, it received none.
There is talk about cooperation and collaboration, however whenever Axel or Dag made any kind of suggestions on the EPEL list, they were not given very much "real" consideration.
Only wrt to repotags. Don't remember any serious/significant discussions outside of that since. Am I missing something?
So, is rpmforge interested in collaboration or not? Does the RepositoryCollaboration sound like a reasonable starting place?
