[EPEL-devel] Re: cairo issue with RHEL 7.6?
Makes me think that an epel-centos-stable repo, downstream of
epel-stable is a good idea. When there is a new RHEL point release,
epel-centos-stable would be frozen until the new CentOS point release
appears. At that point it would go back to mirroring epel-stable. In
this way, we could avoid the few weeks of EPEL breakage on CentOS we
get every time EPEL is rebuilt for a new RHEL point release.
