We plan to add support for EPEL in the future but it's not something that we'll be working on immediately. > Is there possibility to run the tests in Beaker? Not yet, no. Getting our Beaker instance working will need to happen first but that's recently become more of a priority instead of languishing in an almost-done state while waiting for me to have free time to work on it. We do plan to support running tests in Beaker from Taskotron but that work has yet to be scoped out as we need a working Beaker installation before it makes sense to work on that feature. > From the wiki it does not look in any way compatible with existing > RHTS tests implemented in BeakerLib.

One of the objectives that we have is to make sure that test cases can be easily shared between Fedora and RHEL so that Red Hat maintainers can share downstream testcases with upstream without the need to maintain two separate tests. This is a roundabout way of saying that while there are no specific plans, it will happen eventually. Tim
