Sure, but repotag are not the real issue, they were just the tip of the iceberg that rammed the Titanic. The discussion about them revealed certain aspects of EPEL or at least key persons inside EPEL that showed that there is no real interest in cooperating with other repos other than helping EPEL during the startup phase. EPEL created in RHEL-land the same rift that fedora.us created years back in Fedora-land. So maybe even the success of fedora.us is an ethically questionable roadmap for EPEL for dealing with repo-darwinism. Fedora.us ignored the existance of other repos and solely concentrated on their own growth while the other repos tried to remain compatible. This time the burden will not be pushed away, if EPEL breaks something they will have to fix it. So to get back to the original question: Should RPMforge and EPEL be mixed? Please ask EPEL on this and about the (lack of) guaranty that EPEL will not break RPMforge (or any other repo). -- Axel.Thimm at ATrpms.net
