Back to using Dag's repo - setup all sorts of yum exceptions, so that the broken EPEL packages do not interfere with the good packages provided by Dag. Welcome to the repo hell. :-(
That't exactly what yum-priorities has been written for. Just setup rpmforge with a bigger priority over epel and you are done.
Last time such a discussion popped up and I simply stated that RPMforge and EPEL are not compatible and you are better off using only one of both I was told to stop spreading FUD (by Rex Dieter).
Apparently it stopped being FUD today ?
I do not know. FUD is an overused acronym and probably is a corollary to Godwin's law. It also depends on the tone and how it was said. Email is not a medium to give tone or meaning to statements.. it is a medium for partisan bickering. This is not an issue that can be solved in a one paragraph email. It is a problem that will take a multi-line sets of emails and people reasonably listening to each other, asking for clarifications, and working towards and accepting an 'imperfect' middle ground.
