I know EPEL acknowledged that the whole repo-conflicts thing is an issue that needed to be addressed... as has been rehashed many times, they just didn't like repotags. However, perhaps adding something into RPM itself could go a long way to addressing this in a more integrated manner? https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-list/2007-July/msg01537.html That thread might be a good place to request that something like this be added. Not sure how high of a priority everyone would consider it. Ray
