Yet they should be. Everything should be tested and should
take as much advantage of EPEL as possible, as EPEL is for
almost every "regular"
scientific/small,large/business/education - and whichever
other names one could come up with - environment, the
must-have repo.
If SIGs do not start crawling out their "special" closets
and do not work with EPEL tightly then the rest of us will
continue to suffer constant packages conflicts. Stuff
collides way too often!
Or rid of EPEL altogether and just give us a consistent &
stable software repositories.
