I did not looked into EPEL yet and do not know its requirements and
processes.
You can check out the EPEL pages in the wiki for more info. The main
differences are layed out here:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL/GuidelinesAndPolicies
Mainly that you don't upgrade packages in a release without good reason
(security fixes) and you don't break compatibility. Otherwise you cat
request EPEL branches (EL-4, EL-5) in the normal way or you can ask
Dennis Gilmore <dennis(a)ausil.us> to do all of your packages wholesale if
you want.
Nevertheless, there will be a chicken-egg problem: xmlrpc-c
buildrequires
cmake and cmake buildrequires xmlrpc-c.
I'm CCing the epel list for how to get around this.
Some notes:
- cmake can be built with its own copy of xmlrpc-c. Could do this to
get it in then shift to system version.
- Perhaps we could could grab older versions of the two packages from a
compatible FE release and then rebuild?
