--- Comment #3 from Jason Tibbitts <tibbs@xxxxxxxxxxx> ---
Yeah, zoneminder is why I originally added it, since I used to maintain
zoneminder in Fedora.  But I ended up writing my own far simpler security
system and handing zoneminder off to someone else.  To be honest I'm happy to
hand off the rest of the stack as well.

But zoneminder is exactly the kind of thing that I thing should not be in EPEL,
since it doesn't (or at least didn't) necessarily support transparent upgrades
between versions.  That means you can never do a version bump.  Proper support
means you have to backport security fixes, and that's not a good thing at all.

EL6 support is an issue for me because I usually keep my spec files up to
current Fedora guidelines, and the RPM in EL6 is too old.  I did a bunch of
work in epel-rpm-macros to clean up some of those differences, but it can't
support the current Perl packaging guidelines, for example.

In any case, if you want to be a packager then I can make that happen.
