Are there any plans to include a 1.3 release in the EPEL packages

I was just wondering for others that I've been recommending cobbler to
and all 1.3's wonderful new features....
Sure, easy question. 1.3 is the devel branch (we're using the kernel's
old numbering scheme).
1.4 will be released this week (using what we're doing now on 1.3) and
will then (in a day or two) be available in EPEL-testing, which is a
misnomer. It should be called "EPEL non-monthly snapshot". Then, in
about a month (give or take) it will end up in EPEL "stable" which
should be renamed "EPEL monthly snapshot". This is all an artifact of
EPEL not being on the same build system that Fedora uses just yet. We
don't use EPEL testing as testing because packages are not kept there
forever, they eventually hop into stable, and we don't want this
happening with test releases. Bottom line is that EPEL testing is
broken for such things, but only in minor ways that are hard to explain,
not in ways that keeps work from being done :) Sorry for the confusion!
Anyhow, yes, 1.4 is out this week :)
