But I was wondering if there is room in the plans for a
"EPEL-unstable" repository (or something like that), which is just an
automatic rebuild of Fedora Extras 6 packages. For instance I need
~15 php-pear-??? rpms for EL5 that I just rebuilt from the Fedora
Extras 6 sources - no modifications to the spec files needed.
My 2 cent: It would IMHO make a lot more sense to have a second repo
that replaces stuff from the base or installs newer versions of gtk2
in parallel to the one from the base; that would allow to ship newer
version of other programs that depend on newer system library, too.
But I'd say EPEL should focus on bringing up the main repo that
doesn't replace stuff now before thinking about thinks like that. And
the Fedora project is probably not the best place for this effort, too
-- but I'm optimistic that there will soon be another project where
this will be fitting in (more news to come, just be a bit patient for
some weeks).
I wasn't suggesting replacing stuff in the base at all,
