Wishlist

Hi all! This weekend I took a closer look at our wishlist and added a bunch of (IMHO) popular Fedora packages still missing in EPEL. Then I wrote a little script that emailed all the owners and co-maintainers asking them for their EPEL plans regarding the package in question; to track that I added a status column in the wishlist. See: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL/WishList I plan do to that again now and then in the future -- so if you want to see a package in EPEL just add it to the wishlist with the status "unknown" -- then my script (when I run it) will send a mail to the maintainer. There are a few packages on the wishlist where the Fedora owner does no participate in EPEL. And takers for them? Here's the list: > || bazaar || A distributed revision control system || > || chkrootkit || Tool to locally check for signs of a rootkit || > || freenx || Free Software (GPL) Implementation of the NX Server || > || libsidplay || Commodore 64 music player and SID chip emulator library || > || mediawiki || A wiki engine || > || mmv || Move/copy/append/link multiple files || > || rt3 || Request tracker 3 || > || sylpheed || GTK+ based, lightweight, and fast email client || CU knurd

EPEL on IA64
by Richard W.M. Jones 12 Dec '07

12 Dec '07

I notice that EPEL doesn't attempt to build on IA64, even though Red Hat ship IA64 binaries of RHEL. Is there a reason for this?

Trouble with the build system
by Jochen Schmitt 11 Dec '07

11 Dec '07

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hallo, I'm trying to build kyum for EL-5. Unfortunately, only the ppc build is finished until now. I'm assume, that there is an issue with the build system. Thank you in advance.

updates in builders?
by Kevin Fenzi 11 Dec '07

11 Dec '07

We may have in fact discussed this before in the past, but I don't know if we ever came to any decision on it. Should the builders build against just the base stock OS, or should they also pull in the released updates? The reason this came up is firefox. RHEL 5.0 stock comes with a firefox that provides gecko-libs version 1.8.0.9. The latest updates have a firefox that provides gecko-libs version 1.8.0.10. So, if we build an app against base only, anyone with updates will not be able to use it or update until they remove it. If we build against updates as well then they will be forced to apply the dependent packages from updates. Personally, my vote is to always add the updates in. It's easier to tell people that they must have an updated system in order to use EPEL packages. Any other thoughts? kevin
