EPEL4 and libxml++
by Jos Vos
Hi,
I see that libxlm++-2.20.0 is in EPEL5. Is there a technical
reason that there is no libxml++ (maybe version 2.14.0) built
for EPEL4?
IIRC I have once used some old FCx binary RPMs on RHEL4 and
that seemed to work ok.
B.t.w. I'm still wondering why libxml++ isn't in RHEL. I would
think that many people are interested in using that.

For this, you will notice new /etc/pam.d/mock, /etc/consolehelper/mock files which configure mock. The default config is set up to operate exactly the same as the old 0.8 branch: ie. you must be a member of the 'mock' group to run mock. Additionally, with consolehelper comes one new feature: if you are not in the 'mock' group, you will be prompted to enter the root password and it will run. This means you can run mock without worrying about any pre-setup.

Do any changes, fixes, etc need to be done for EPEL since they are
basically F-3/F-6?

Reminder meeting for EPEL 2008-03-12
by Stephen John Smoogen
Call for topics:
Review of website documents:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL/GuidelinesAndPolicies seems out of
date with current monthly update policy. Who gets to fix it (oh wait
is that why everyone else just took a step backwards...)
Any other topics of interest?
