[Fedora-packaging] Repotag in EPEL

Hi,

I'd like to ask the Packaging Committee (which afaics is responsible for
the Packaging standards used in Fedora projects, which includes EPEL)
for advice and a formal decision about using a repotag in EPEL. There
are a lot of people strongly urging to use one -- see attached mails or
the threads in the online archive at

https://www.redhat.com/archives/epel-devel-list/2007-March/msg00224.html
https://www.redhat.com/archives/epel-devel-list/2007-March/msg00258.html

I (and some other EPEL SIG members afaics) don't care much about using
one or not. But afaics the use of a repotag is unwanted in Fedora-land
up to now afaics.

If the answer from the PC is "yes, EPEL is free to use a repotag" then
please decide how to actually use it -- Add a "repotag" macro defined by
the buildsys or overload %{dist}, ...

We need a decision soon. Thanks for your support.
