Some EPEL packages going in to RHEL 5.6

[Richard W.M. Jones]

When RHEL 5.6 is released, it is possible (although it's not been
finalized yet) that some or all of the following packages will be
added.  I will keep you updated when we get final go-ahead.

augeas			lutter
 fakechroot		rjones
 fakeroot		rjones
 hivex			rjones
 libguestfs		rjones
 perl-IO-stringy	pghmcfc
 perl-libintl		thias
 perl-Module-Pluggable	steve
 perl-XML-DOM		orion
 perl-XML-DOM-XPath	mdbooth
 perl-XML-RegExp	orion
 perl-XML-Writer	xavierb
 perl-XML-XPath		kasal
 scrub			spot
 virt-v2v		mdbooth
 zerofree		rjones

Rich.

Thanks. When it does, could we get an idea of what version has been
stabilized to? The reason is that it would be nice to lock versus end
up with someone pushing say scrub-9.99 and RHEL-5.6 having scrub-9.1
in it.

Sure, I'm putting proposed packages here:

http://94.30.104.162/rhel-5-rhev/

As you can see, I've been forking them from Fedora 13 / Rawhide so
that we have the latest possible code.  This makes sense from the
point of view of RHEL 5.6 since they are new packages, maybe not so
much from the POV of EPEL.  However in the case of these packages I
can't see any backwards compatibility or ABI issues.
