Greetings. Just a heads up that EPEL will soon be moving it's EPEL6 branch from the Beta mode (like rawhide) that it's been in to a release mode (like EPEL4/5 are). (I have cc'ed Fedora's devel-announce here as there may be people not on the epel-devel list that might find this of interest). Timeline: 2011-01-13 - Have any builds you wish done before release done. After this point you will need to request a package be tagged into the stable or testing repos or wait until bodhi is up for EPEL6. 2011-01-14 - EPEL rel-eng will work on composing and moving things around. This may include untagging packages that have broken deps, or moving them into testing, test composing, etc. Hopefully we can mirror out trees. 2011-01-15 2011-01-16 - Maintainers encouraged to check new trees and help with wiki prep, etc. 2011-01-17 - Bodhi will be enabled for EPEL6 and things will move to a release mode: All packages spend 2 weeks in testing or +3 karma, bodhi is used for updates, buildroot overrides are required as usual. 2011-01-18 - RELEASE DAY. Help with press release or announcements would be welcome. Work/help needed: - Would be great if someone could make us a press release and had a way to distribute it out. - We need work on our wiki pages. A EPEL6 FAQ would be very nice. - Maintainers need to determine what packages they want to ship for EPEL6. If you do not want to ship whats there now, please untag it before thursday. Feel free to drop by #epel on freenode or drop an email to the https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/epel-devel-list Thanks for all the work folks, and enjoy EPEL6! kevin
