EPEL Deps (spam-o-epel)

If these look ok I'll enable the runs this weekend:

I maintain limph, and I could have sworn RHEL had php-mhash and
php-mcrypt.  Since these aren't EPEL packages ( and I see
php-pear-crypt-chap needs them for epel5 as well), whom do I talk to about
resolving this?  I think they're build as part of the mail php SRPM, no?

I believe that in Fedora, these are part of the php-extras RPM.  I  
think another issue is that those packages rely on mhash and mcrypt  
which AFAIK are not present in RHEL and have not yet been built for  
EPEL.

Given that, what do I do?  Have the EPEL4/5 builds of limph pulled, and
note the cvs branches?  And do more thorough deps checking for my next
attempted EPEL build? :)

That's one option.  Or you can become a co-maintainer for the needed  
packages in EPEL.  See the wiki for more info on that if you're  
interested.

Yes, and I believe we need to really emphasize this for people  
wanting to build packages for EPEL.  At this point in time, it is not  
safe to assume that a package is in EPEL simply because it exists in  
Fedora/Extras.
