EPEL is the newcomer in here. Defining new rules with other repositories already in place whilst ignoring rules other repositories might already have in place can lead to that what you're complaining about. EPEL might be the most open repository at the moment regarding *who* can upload new packages and probably has the most packagers behind it - but the other repositories have the bigger community behind them. > 00:55 < mmcgrath> | I mean hell, how many of those 3rd party repos have even signed a cla? Mike, if you're reading here: Why should other 3rd party repos sign some sort of CLA? Especially: Sign it with/for whom and for what reason? > 00:55 < mmcgrath> | We're aiming much larger then they are and we have a much different structure as a result. As said: EPEL is the new kid on the block at the moment. And what do you mean with "aim larger"? > I'm tired of trying to build bridges.
