Hi,
I'd like to ask the Packaging Committee (which afaics is responsible for the Packaging standards used in Fedora projects, which includes EPEL) for advice and a formal decision about using a repotag in EPEL. There are a lot of people strongly urging to use one -- see attached mails or the threads in the online archive at
https://www.redhat.com/archives/epel-devel-list/2007-March/msg00224.html https://www.redhat.com/archives/epel-devel-list/2007-March/msg00258.html
I (and some other EPEL SIG members afaics) don't care much about using one or not. But afaics the use of a repotag is unwanted in Fedora-land up to now afaics.
If the answer from the PC is "yes, EPEL is free to use a repotag" then please decide how to actually use it -- Add a "repotag" macro defined by the buildsys or overload %{dist}, ...
We need a decision soon. Thanks for your support.
