Re: EPEL Packages in need of building for EL-6

[Pawel Salek]

I would very much like build balsa for EL-6 but it requires libesmtp  
which has no EL-6 branch. I am libesmtp packager for fedora and I have  
unsuccessfully tried to create it. I have found

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL/FAQ#How_do_I_request_a_EPEL_branch_for_an...

and created
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=612334

I have not got a response yet, though.

I do not quite know what the next step should be...

You need to set the fedora-cvs flag to "?"

Also, you should use the original Review ticket if possible.

You need to set the 'fedora-cvs' flag at the top to '?' so that
cvsadmins know you have a request there. ;)

Do that and it will get processed soon.

I just set the fedora-cvs flag to ?, if I recall well it is
what should be done.
