Hello there,
On Fedora, we have a comps group 'electronic-lab' which facilitates
the users' life to install FEL (Fedora Electronic Lab) collection:
# yum groupinstall 'Electronic Lab'
I wish to have a similar comps group for the EPEL-5 branch. Of course,
not all packages under the FEL collection are in EPEL-5 branch due to
compatibility reasons. If you are interested to follow FEL packages
found in Fedora branches and EPEL-5 branch please visit
* For detailed list with respective versions and build dates:

* FEL-12 Release Notes (EPEL-5 Repository Section)
http://chitlesh.fedorapeople.org/papers/FEL12ReleaseNotes.pdf
We already have 42 packages of the FEL collections in EPEL-5
repository. I really want to extend FEL support for the EL
distributions as our userbase is growing and requesting long term
support.
Kind Regards,
Chitlesh Goorah
Hello there,

I won't be able to answer any of your emails during that timeframe. I
apologize for any inconvenience that may cause.
However, we (FEL team) are ahead in schedule in terms of FEL
development cycle compared to

Since every Fedora SIG has entered final freeze and F-12 branch has
already been created, I would encourage you to try rawhide or the
nightly spins.

milestone.
