Topics:
* RHEL MetaData | stahnma | http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL/Tasks/RhelMetaData
* stahnma> I have been working on a something that spits out
requires/provides/filelisting etc for each rpm . I am actually surprised repoview
doesn't have something like that
* stuff will be hosted on fedorapeople
* No ETA; stahnma> "I was hoping to have it done today, but that didn't
happen ; maybe next coupel weeks. Holidays screw up schedules "
* KojiAndBodhiForEpel
* mmcgrath> the wheels are in motion to try to get funding for an intern but nothing
concrete yet.
* RHEL 5.1 (and 4.6) for the builders
* thats done now, right?
* how to do it next time still under discussion
* nirik> | another issue related here: updates for builders? would it be hard to get
them to pull updates into the buildroot ?
* mmcgrath> | If we decide thats what we want to do we'll also have to figure
out a way to do it. Right now going from RHEL5 -> 5.1 involved me downloading the
DVD's, copying RPM's over and running createrepo.
* more on the list
* update http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL/GuidelinesAndPolicies
* nirik> | I updated the page... if everyone could look and correct/add/modify, feel
free.
* Free discussion
* anything planned on EPEL at FUDcon? Maybe a EPEL meeting at fudcon... perhaps a
'Fedora maintainers intro to EPEL' ?
* stahnma> | also, it's great to see so many new packages in EPEL lately
* nirik> | I am still working on getting munin in... need some more perl deps. Will
probibly start on Xfce over the holidays too.
