http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL/Reports/Week27 = Weekly EPEL Summary = Week 27/2007 == Most important happenings == * Policy for "Branching for EPEL if Fedora maintainer does not react" was approved * target date for for official EPEL announcement: July 19; we need to fix all broken deps beforehand (and make sure any new ones hit the repo) == EPEL SIG Meeting == === Attending === >From the Steering Committee: * dgilmore (DennisGilmore) * Jeff_S (Jeff Sheltren) * knurd (ThorstenLeemhuis) * mmcgrath (MikeMcGrath) * nirik (KevinFenzi) * quiad (KarstenWade) * stahnma (MichaelStahnke) === Summary === * EPEL Meeting – broken deps – nirik: * Jeff_S will be responsible for this topic; nirik will try to help * we need to poke people; they likely don't even know that there are broken dep * running a repoclosure before push would be ideal, but not easy; we should get that with bodhi sooner or later, so we don't look deeper into this issue * spam o magic script (broken deps) – mmcgrath * mmcgrath is looking at it; he committed to have it ready by the next meeting * Move epel dirs on servers down below stable – knurd * last week decided, this week reverted. * Branch for EPEL if Fedora maintainer does not react – knurd, _blah_ * https://www.redhat.com/archives/epel-devel-list/2007-July/msg00016.html got approved, knurd added it to the wiki. We likely need to adjust a small detail; see https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-list/2007-July/msg00332.html * signers group – dgilmore * dgilmore and mmcgrath can push and sign; that is considered enough for now * finish the wiki docs and remove the warnings by end of may – quaid * round about ready; quaid has some changes pending, but nothing major * warning on the top EPEL-page in the wiki will get removed shortly before announcement * EPEL announcement -- quaid * early announce draft to epel-devel-l soon; shortly after that early announce to f-maintainers ; followed by first draft of real announcement to e-d-l ; finally announce on Jul 19 * RHX and EPEL – quaid * seems some people still don't really know that RHX actually is * general agreement to "we should try to work it so that Free and open source software in RHX is available in EPEL with community support"; quaid> "I doubt we'll have any problem with that idea . I think the RHX folks feel the same; they have no need to duplicate what we do for no reason, and lose the gain of the community . It's going to be a few weeks until we can get a formal set of guidelines between the two groups . Mainly it's about the messaging, making sure that it's easy to know the difference between a package from EPEL and one from RHX . I made the point that ISVs can control that best if the ... actually own the package in Fedora :) " === Full Log === https://www.redhat.com/archives/epel-devel-list/2007-July/msg00019.html == Stats == === General === Number of EPEL Contributors 107 We welcome 6 new contributors: gemi_AT_bluewin.ch, ghenry_AT_suretecsystems.com, mdehaan_AT_redhat.com, mszpak_AT_wp.pl, rich_AT_phekda.gotadsl.co.uk, rpm_AT_greysector.net === EPEL 5 === Number of source packages: 439 Number of binary packages: 799 There are 34 new Packages: * alsamixergui | GUI mixer for ALSA sound devices * artwiz-aleczapka-fonts | Set of (improved) artwiz fonts * blacs | Basic Linear Algebra Communication Subprograms * c-ares | A library that performs asynchronous DNS operations * cobbler | Boot server configurator * cronolog | Web log rotation program for Apache * dar | Software for making/restoring incremental CD/DVD backups * dx | Open source version of IBM's Visualization Data Explorer * eclipse-subclipse | Subversion Eclipse plugin * evolution-bogofilter | A plugin for bogofilter support in evolution * ftplib | Library of FTP routines * gxemul | Instruction-level machine emulator * itk | Object oriented extensions to Tk * jam | Program construction tool, similar to make * JSDoc | Produces javadoc-style documentation from JavaScript sourcefiles * koan | Network provisioning tool for Xen and Bare Metal Machines * lapack | The LAPACK libraries for numerical linear algebra. * libcgi | CGI easy as C * perl-Lingua-EN-Inflect | Convert singular to plural, select "a" or "an" * perl-Lingua-EN-Inflect-Number | Force number of words to singular or plural * perl-version | Perl extension for Version Objects * php-pear-Phlickr | Phlickr is a PHP5 based api kit used with the Flickr API * php-spyc | A simple php yaml class * planet | Flexible RDF/RSS/Atom feed aggregator * python-isprelink | Python module to determine if a file has been prelinked * R | A language for data analysis and graphics * R-RScaLAPACK | An interface to perform parallel computation on linear algebra problems using ScaLAPACK * scalapack | A subset of LAPACK routines redesigned for heterogenous computing * uread | Utilities for unformatted fortran files === EPEL 4 === Number of source packages: 271 Number of binary packages: 560 There are 19 new Packages: * alsamixergui | GUI mixer for ALSA sound devices * artwiz-aleczapka-fonts | Set of (improved) artwiz fonts * c-ares | A library that performs asynchronous DNS operations * cobbler | Boot server configurator * ftplib | Library of FTP routines * gxemul | Instruction-level machine emulator * jam | Program construction tool, similar to make * JSDoc | Produces javadoc-style documentation from JavaScript sourcefiles * koan | Network provisioning tool for Xen and Bare Metal Machines * libcgi | CGI easy as C * perl-Lingua-EN-Inflect | Convert singular to plural, select "a" or "an" * perl-Lingua-EN-Inflect-Number | Force number of words to singular or plural * perl-version | Perl extension for Version Objects * php-spyc | A simple php yaml class * python-isprelink | Python module to determine if a file has been prelinked * R | A language for data analysis and graphics * uread | Utilities for unformatted fortran files ---- ["CategoryEPELReports"] -- Fedora-maintainers mailing list Fedora-maintainers@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-maintainers -- Fedora-maintainers-readonly mailing list Fedora-maintainers-readonly@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-maintainers-readonly
