= Weekly EPEL Summary =
Week 36/2007
== Most important happenings ==
* EPEL SIG tried alternative meeting time (23:00 UTC). The
participation was nearly identical to meetings taking place at the old
time. More discussion will likely occur on how to engage more EPEL
involvement.
* Stahnma is still investigating the best way to deal with package
information to ensure that EPEL is not stepping on packages from
RHEL/RHN. Thus far a list of channels with package information is
available at
stahnma.fedorapeople.org/rhn.
* Nirik is working on setting up the security groups for EPEL so
updates can match be CVEs etc.
* Nirik will send out information to the list on the best way to
notify EPEL if a package needs to be pulled because it conflicts with
RHEL/RHN content.
* Some discussion with with CentOS developers. CentOS developers
would like to have a bit more collaberation and ensure that if a
package requires updating for EPEL that CentOS be made aware of it
also. (See
