I am proposing that the EPEL community hold a meeting in #epel on Friday August 22, 2014 16:00:00 UTC to go over various community items:
Sure. I will be there. :)
Thanks for trying to organize things again.
Suggested topics:
#topic Forking of EPEL packages to a faster moving repository
a) Proposed name of repository is EPIC b) What packages stay, which packages go.
#topic Setup and controls for said repository
When do packages update in EPIC repository, how are they announced and where?
There are a ton of logistical issues if we create a new repo.
- Is it in regular fedora git as another branch? If not, where else? - Can we teach bodhi how to deal with it? Or does it just not use bodhi/updates? - Does it build in koji? - Package reviews the same as other packages?
#topic Review and cleanup of EPEL policies
There was a problem with several packages being removed which broke other packages. These packages were removed because we have in the past not allow orphaned or non-maintain packages.. but where is this documented.
The mongodb thing turns out to have just been a mistake. ;) But yeah, documenting more process would be good.
