EPEL, RHEL-5Server and RHEL-5Client
by Konstantin Ryabitsev 12 Jul '07

12 Jul '07

So, here's a fun situation: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=246444 In brief: * python-imaging in EPEL conflicts with python-imaging in RHEL-5Client * upstream (RHEL5) requests to remove python-imaging because EPEL is not supposed to override upstream * removing python-imaging will break dependencies in RHEL-5Server How do we deal with the fact that there is RHEL-5Server and RHEL-5Client and that they have different sets of packages? -- Konstantin Ryabitsev Montréal, Québec

fftw advice...
by Rex Dieter 12 Jul '07

12 Jul '07

I was going to get to work on building fftw2/fftw3 for epel, and have a small quandry. Fedora names these fftw2/fftw. rpmforge currently names them fftw/fftw3. They feel strongly about it, and users were angered previously at my initial attempts at implementing an Obsoletes/Provides migration path to fftw2/fftw. So, I was leaning toward following rpmforge's fftw/fftw3 naming scheme, but... these modules are currently named fftw2 and fftw in cvs. I'm unaware of any strict rules, but figured it would be at least uncool to create packages whose %{name} != cvs_module. So, to move forward here should I: 1. be uncool and just do it. or 2. request a new package review for 'fftw3' ?? If 2 is the correct answer here, I'm not sure I'm willing to subject myself to the further pain/effort of a review (unless someone chimes in quickly to offer to review it). -- Rex

spam-o-matic
by Dennis Gilmore 10 Jul '07

10 Jul '07

Hey All, when testing the spam-o-matic script that sends out notifications for broken dependencies it was accidentally run without the --nomail flag in addition to not being pointed at a RHEL tree. which resulted in messages sent that should not have been. We are terribly sorry for the noise and will try to never ever do it again. Thank you for your patience and understanding Dennis

Getting involved
by Ville Skyttä 08 Jul '07

08 Jul '07

Hello, I'm gradually getting more involved with EPEL, have already built a couple of packages yesterday and will ask branches of some others soon. However, my interest is almost exclusively limited to EL-5 at this time. While I'm not going to make any gratuitous changes to packages that would cause them to not work on EL-4 and will test at least to some extent with it, I probably won't be requesting any EL-4 branches nor really promise to actively maintain packages for it. So, if you want some packages for which I'm listed as the sole EPEL maintainer to appear for EL-4 and volunteer to co-maintain them (for EL-4 only or for later releases too), that's welcome, let me know. One such example is cvsps - it was listed in EPEL 4 broken deps report, required by git-cvs. For EL-5 it has been branched and built and will probably appear in a push soon, but I have no plans to maintain it for EL-4.

EPEL report week 27, 2007

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL/Reports/Week27 = Weekly EPEL Summary = Week 27/2007 == Most important happenings == * Policy for "Branching for EPEL if Fedora maintainer does not react" was approved * target date for for official EPEL announcement: July 19; we need to fix all broken deps beforehand (and make sure any new ones hit the repo) == EPEL SIG Meeting == === Attending === >From the Steering Committee: * dgilmore (DennisGilmore) * Jeff_S (Jeff Sheltren) * knurd (ThorstenLeemhuis) * mmcgrath (MikeMcGrath) * nirik (KevinFenzi) * quiad (KarstenWade) * stahnma (MichaelStahnke) === Summary === * EPEL Meeting – broken deps – nirik: * Jeff_S will be responsible for this topic; nirik will try to help * we need to poke people; they likely don't even know that there are broken dep * running a repoclosure before push would be ideal, but not easy; we should get that with bodhi sooner or later, so we don't look deeper into this issue * spam o magic script (broken deps) – mmcgrath * mmcgrath is looking at it; he committed to have it ready by the next meeting * Move epel dirs on servers down below stable – knurd * last week decided, this week reverted. * Branch for EPEL if Fedora maintainer does not react – knurd, _blah_ * https://www.redhat.com/archives/epel-devel-list/2007-July/msg00016.html got approved, knurd added it to the wiki. We likely need to adjust a small detail; see https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-list/2007-July/msg00332.html * signers group – dgilmore * dgilmore and mmcgrath can push and sign; that is considered enough for now * finish the wiki docs and remove the warnings by end of may – quaid * round about ready; quaid has some changes pending, but nothing major * warning on the top EPEL-page in the wiki will get removed shortly before announcement * EPEL announcement -- quaid * early announce draft to epel-devel-l soon; shortly after that early announce to f-maintainers ; followed by first draft of real announcement to e-d-l ; finally announce on Jul 19 * RHX and EPEL – quaid * seems some people still don't really know that RHX actually is * general agreement to "we should try to work it so that Free and open source software in RHX is available in EPEL with community support"; quaid> "I doubt we'll have any problem with that idea . I think the RHX folks feel the same; they have no need to duplicate what we do for no reason, and lose the gain of the community . It's going to be a few weeks until we can get a formal set of guidelines between the two groups . Mainly it's about the messaging, making sure that it's easy to know the difference between a package from EPEL and one from RHX .
