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?
Lots of things, there was even a face-to-face meeting at LT07. Where it was revealed that it was spot's fault that repotags were killed (but I guess that's just the non-present scape-goat methology)
So, is rpmforge interested in collaboration or not? Does the RepositoryCollaboration sound like a reasonable starting place?
The orginal one, yes, the current one which even lacks the presence of EPEL no.
