     On December 17, 2014, EpSCO will be cleaning out the EPEL repositories
 of all orphaned packages. Packages that are orphaned will be removed and
 all packages depending on those orphaned packages will be removed from the
repository. Packagers requiring packages need to take over orphaned
packages.

Please see the following links for currently orphaned packages:

RHEL-7
https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/epel-devel/2014-November/010494.html

RHEL-5
https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/epel-devel/2014-November/010495.html

RHEL-6
https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/epel-devel/2014-November/010496.html

On December 19, 2014, all packages which have broken dependencies from
these orphaned packages will be removed from the repositories. Packages
needing to be re-added will need to go through a package review.
