On Dec 1st? I replied to that and pointed you at the last status update
I knew of that had stalled in Oct:

I wonder when you asked me that?
Btw, I mentioned the single major problem (running for i386 instead of i686)
multiple times.

While mstahnma was working on it already? Should I have guessed that he
couldn't test/commit his changes himself due to missing privileges? How
about communicating such things properly?

Prior to that I pointed out multiple times that it was running for i386
instead of i686. I really don't see how a ticket would have helped.
Two people in EPEL leadership have worked on the config script and
haven't had the guts to call for help or to talk to me about possible
improvements. Communication is the key. Especially if you want others
to do more grunt work.

Get down off your high horse. 

My consequences are that I will leave this list after this message.
Then you can call me complainer and possibly find additional names
if that is the attitude you prefer.
