Yes its being worked on and no, people endlessly commenting on epel-devel
instead of the ticket or the infrastructure list doesn't make it get done
more quickly.
Sorry,
Again, from the begining, should have built it against CentOS.
I totally disagree and I'm glad that we build against RHEL, as the
target was RHEL, to which CentOS should be 100% compatible. Which it is,
but sometimes with a delay of 24 to 48 hours (normal updates) or a few
weeks (packages that are part of a quarterly update; new release). That
is a quite significant factor for EPEL, because if we'd build with
CentOS we couldn't serve the RHEL users properly, as they now and then
will end up with broken deps.
