* mmcgrath> | nothing over the holidays. We're hopeful but nothing concrete yet.
* Free discussion around EPEL
* tibbs mentioned there was a review for an EPEL-only package (tetex-lineno, https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=426929 );The only real issue with that review is what to do with the devel branch.
* it was agreed on that a dead.package-file should in the devel branch (that's what was done) is the best approach
* fudcon?
* mmcgrath, nirik and quiad will be there
* nirik> | well, the one thing I can think of would be to do a 'what is epel and why I should branch my packages for it' type session...
