Hello there,
On Fedora, we have a comps group 'electronic-lab' which facilitates the users' life to install FEL (Fedora Electronic Lab) collection:
# yum groupinstall 'Electronic Lab'
I wish to have a similar comps group for the EPEL-5 branch. Of course, not all packages under the FEL collection are in EPEL-5 branch due to compatibility reasons. If you are interested to follow FEL packages found in Fedora branches and EPEL-5 branch please visit
* For detailed list with respective versions and build dates: http://chitlesh.fedorapeople.org/FEL/list.html * FEL-12 Release Notes (EPEL-5 Repository Section) http://chitlesh.fedorapeople.org/papers/FEL12ReleaseNotes.pdf
We already have 42 packages of the FEL collections in EPEL-5 repository. I really want to extend FEL support for the EL distributions as our userbase is growing and requesting long term support.
Kind Regards, Chitlesh Goorah
Is there any objection about me creating a comps group for electronic lab ? If there isn't any I'll carry on creating the group.
However, when do we expect these changes to hit stable repository ? one month ?

None here, but my opinion doesn't count for much :D I think it'd be great to have FEL available in EPEL to the extent possible, and the user experience should also be as close to Fedora as is possible,
