RFE: EPEL-testing (disabled) in epel-release?

[Gilboa Davara]

Hello all,

As the title suggest, will it be possible to ship a new epel-release RPM
with epel-testing support? (As in fedora-update-testing, it should be
disabled by default).
This should add much needed testing to new package releases.

Good idea (I actually though we did that).

But why not ship a separate epel-testing-release package with testing
enabled? Then people just need to install that one using yum and don't
have to modify configuration files (which also avoids rpmnew-files as well).

The advantage of an disabled testing repo configuration is, that one can 
easily install/update a single package from there with "yum --enablerepo 
updates-testing update foo" without installing all packages from testing.

Good point.

/me wonders if we could do both at the same time...

I thought it was.  I like solving problems before they happen.
