Let me add that an effort to make sure EPEL is compatible with RPMforge failed as EPEL wants to become the only repository for RHEL and there is no interest to consider current RPMforge users.

EPEL refused the repotag, so one cannot easily identify where a package comes from and mixing repositories becomes harder. Since compatibility is a 2 way interaction and EPEL shows no interest, it is certain that mixing EPEL with other repositories may break something.

Dag: I hope you will consider rewriting that post to the ML and putting it into the CentOS Wiki. Rewriting may not be necessary. Your post was pretty explicit and very informative. IMHO, it will be a great addition to the Repository Wiki. Lanny
