Hi, the voting/decision on repotags was labeled as being 99% a political one, and no one objected against that old statement. Does the outcome of EPEL not carrying repotags mean that there is no interest in cooperation with 3rd party repos? I'm not after answers on pseudo-technical details, so consider the above question as rhetorical, instead let me rephrase completely outside the scope of repotags: What is EPEL's intended relation to the existing third party repos? * Will it jump in the game ignoring that 3rd party repos exist and let Darwinism prevail? * Will it try to work together with these repos? If yes, in what concrete way? * Does EPEL consider itself at the same level as these repos, or does it place itself higher, pushing any compatibility issues to the workload of these repos? The Fedora/3rd party rift created several years ago is still in the healing process, I think everyone agrees in retrospect that it wasn't neccessary and we'd be better off not to allow it to happen in the first place. But I see the danger of this history pattern to repeat itself, and standing with one feet in a 3rd party repo and another in EPEL I'm in conflict with myself right now, so I'd like us to clarify this. -- Axel.Thimm at ATrpms.net
