Alot of packages are not, i spent half the day methodically rebuilding a bunch
of packages that were missing or needed newer versions. I haven't figured out
if all of them are epel, though i think some of them, including libxml2 are
core packages and it might not be possible to update them without difficulty.

At $dayjob we've decided to stop using cpan to install modules and to focus our
efforts on building RPMs where possible. As long as i can do it within the
infrastructure of Fedora/EPEL, this will be ok, and i am more than willing to
take up any branches that we need to support EPEL so long i'm working at this
job. Presumably if i leave, this duty will be picked up by my successor. 
Comaintanership is always welcome.

I'll have a look at the CVS packages tommorow then. All i did was update the
Version field anyways, and i'm not 100% sure the package is going to work until
after i run it on our test systems and ask the researchers to break it
thoroughly.
