Hi! Some packages that are part of FC6 are not included in RHEL5 afaics. Gmime, which I maintained in FE4 until it got moved to FC with Version 5, is one of those. I build it for EPEL5 today. I thought it might be helpful to compile a list of those packages that are part of FC6 but not included in RHEL5. You can find it below (I'll put it in the EPEL-FAQ in the wiki, too). Note: that list is compiled from src.rpm and thus sub-packages (gmime-devel, mono-*) are not mentioned in it. aqbanking autorun awesfx beagle bluez-pin bouncycastle cleanfeed concurrent cpufreq-utils cryptix cryptix-asn1 crypto-utils dbus-sharp dictd diskdumputils eclipse-bugzilla eclipse-cdt eclipse-changelog epiphany evolution-sharp fedora-logos fedora-release fedora-release-notes f-spot gecko-sharp2 genromfs gmime gnome-sharp gnome-vfs2-monikers gnucash gnu-getopt gsf-sharp gsl gtk-sharp2 gwenhywfar g-wrap hexedit iprutils ipvsadm isicom jessie jfsutils jgroups kdeedu krbafs libgdiplus libofx librtas libtirpc linux-atm lvm2-cluster mono mozplugger mysqlclient10 mysqlclient14 ncpfs netatalk netdump newt-perl nhpf nut openswan perl-Devel-Symdump perl-File-MMagic perl-Frontier-RPC perl-Inline perl-Parse-RecDescent perl-PDL perl-RPM-Specfile perl-TermReadKey perl-TimeDate pnm2ppa ppc64-utils puretls pychecker pydict reiserfs-utils rgmanager rwall selinux-doc slib system-config-cluster system-config-netboot tanukiwrapper timidity++ tomboy ttcp tvtime wordtrans xfsprogs xorg-sgml-doctools xorg-x11-docs xorg-x11-drv-amd xorg-x11-xdm yaboot Anyone interested in building those for EPEL? Especially having mono in EPEL might be nice to have. If you want to maintain one of those it should be enough to request a EPEL-branch if the package got reviewed already -- e.g. in the past for Extras of during the merge review. If it didn't get reviewed yet you IMHO should help with finishing the merge review fist before requesting a EPEL branch. Ohh, and it might be good to ask the current "Core" maintainer if he wants to maintain the package in EPEL himself before requesting the EPEL branch. CU thl
