EPEL is more like a 2nd-party repo than a 4th-party repo. It is tested with both RHEL and CentOS and has a strict policy of not mucking with RHEL/CentOS packages (unlike some other repos which will happily replace RHEL/CentOS packages with newer or patched versions) and it is promoted by Red Hat (though its use is not supported commercially by Red Hat, but neither is CentOS nor the repositories you're recommending). https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL/About https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL/FAQ Kevin Kofler -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
