Hi all,

find below the list of topics that are likely to come up in the next EPEL SIG meeting that's scheduled for tomorrow, Wednesday at 17:00 UTC in #fedora-extras on irc.freenode.org.

Note: I added some new stuff and worked a bit on the Schedule page in the wiki http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL/Schedule I put some names behind some of the new tasks -- that's not binding for now and will be discussed in the meeting.

/topic EPEL Meeting – broken deps – nirik /topic EPEL Meeting – spam o magic script – mmcgrath /topic EPEL Meeting – signers group – dgilmore /topic EPEL Meeting – move epel dirs on servers down below stable – knurd /topic EPEL Meeting – branch for EPEL if Fedora maintainer does not react – knurd, _blah_ /topic EPEL Meeting – finish the wiki docs and remove the warnings by end of may – quaid /topic EPEL Meeting – new meeting time? – all (see also http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL/NewMeetingTime ) /topic EPEL Meeting – Communication plan for enterprise customers/ISVs/IHVs – stahnma, quaid /topic EPEL Meeting – ExcludeArch TrackerBugs for EPEL – notting/knurd /topic EPEL Meeting – RHX and EPEL – quaid

You want something to be discussed? Send a note to the list in reply to this mail and I'll add it to the schedule (I can't promise we will get to it tomorrow, but we'll most likely will if we don't run out of time). You can also propose topics at the end of the meeting itself.

If your name/nick is on above list please give a update. That way all the interested parties know what up ahead of the meeting; that will avoid long delays and "status update monologues in the meeting.

Since its a public holiday in the states im unlikely to be available. not sure if the other us based people will be either.

I sent a mail about how to havev some infos about RHEL packages some time ago and didn't received any response, so (even though it is not completly obvious that it is in EPEL role), I add it here. Maybe it is relevant for EPEL anyway, if the silence reflects an issue in EPEL/RHEL relationship.

I am checking which package I'd like to put in EPEL and it appears that some informations are lacking, that I can find easily with rpmfind (for example), but I cannot for RHEL. Here is a list of things I would like to do, from a non Centos/RHEL box, or from another Centos/RHEL version, of course. Do you have guidance on how to do it? Keep in mind that I would like something easy, (like what rpmfind provides, for example) not something complicated (like download all the srpms and work out from the spec files):

* find whether a package is in RHEL or not * find whether a file is in RHEL or not, and in which package * find whether a provides is in RHEL or not, and provided by which package * find the list of files and provides of a package in RHEL

I'd like to add that, if there is to be a cooperation with other repos, it would be nice to have a place in the wiki for other repo representant to put this information (and also more information, like web site, contact people, download link, version control system link if any).
