EPEL (and CentOS, to a certain point) are a bit reluctant to offer newer packages of applications which are in the product itself (Emacs, LaTeX in this case). Yes, I know that there's centosplus and that contains code where the itching got that strong that someone actually started to scratch. There's no real process of getting your packages into CentOS at the moment, rpmrepo is still "finding itself", so my advice would be to offer those packages (and maintenance) to rpmforge, which will be in rpmrepo once that is up. See <https://rpmrepo.org/RPMforge/>. Getting it in there also will help people with Scientific Linux or other distributions. Does that answer some of the questions? Cheers, Ralph
