Let me rephrase: EPEL may need packages to be functional by itself.
ivtv-firmware is missing the needed kernel module. It is possible to use
ivtv-kmdl from any third part repo to use ivtv-firmware. But using ivtv-firmware
alone is pointless. At this time ivtv.ko hasn't been backported for last RHEL
kernels AFAIK. Note that if it was done or requested this would make the
compat-location pointless. I leave the decition about epel to another reviewer
anyway...

So to sum-up, if any of the people involved in the EPEL repository accept this
package, i have nothing against preventing axel to own epel-4 and epel-5
branches. (just ask and i will request cvs for epel-4 and epel-5 once approved
by someone else).
