EPEL 7 package requests: pyephem, blt, tcllib, tdom

[Zhiwei Zhu]

Hi Kevin,

Thanks for clarifying this:
" Those are the instructions if you are a fedora maintainer... if you are just an interested user, the process is much simpiler:

File a bug on the epel version of the package and ask if the maintainer would be willing to maintain it for epel7 as well.
If there's no answer in 1 week, another maintainer could step in, at that point you could ask the list if anyone would be willing to step in and maintain it. "

And couldn't agree more on:
" We need to make the faq more clear on this point... "

I faced the same problem with Kyle and got the same understanding as Kyle did.
I made a different mistake by editing: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL/epel7/Requests#EPEL_Branch_Requests

Best Regards
Jacky

Those are the instructions if you are a fedora maintainer... if you are just an interested user, the process is much simpiler:

File a bug on the epel version of the package and ask if the maintainer would be willing to maintain it for epel7 as well.
If there's no answer in 1 week, another maintainer could step in, at that point you could ask the list if anyone would be willing to step in and maintain it.

We need to make the faq more clear on this point...
