EPEL Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.11 Released

[Stephen John Smoogen]

So Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.11 is supposed to be the last updated version
of the series. I say supposed to be because a long time ago I was told 5.9
and then 5.10 were to be the last versions but that wasn't in a release
announcement so I am thinking this is actually the last version.

With that in mind, I was wondering what needs users have in the EPEL-5
trees and what we should focus on this tree as it goes sailing into the
sunset of 2017 (extended contract support til 2020). I would be happy to
act as an 'advocate' in this.

I'm not a user of EL5 anymore, but I think we need to address the python26 and 
django situation in EPEL5.

The Fedora Security Team has been working on closing out some older
security issues with Fedora. The EPEL 5 repository is a big offender.
If anyone knows the packagers for the following [1], please let them
know.

from EPEL5.  There are also:
