Right; in mirror traffic, EPEL is to Fedora Workstation as Workstation is to Server. :) EPEL packages *are* Fedora packages, though — moving the project to CentOS isn't completely crazy, but would require a lot more integration and cooperation between the projects. That's something I'd like to see anyway. I think there are a lot of opportunities for this with containers and modularity — if you can just run Fedora containers on CentOS or RHEL *directly*, why bother rebuilding them? For a lot of the software that's in EPEL, that's completely sufficient. For other software, where users would like the version to match more closely the long lifecycle, maybe there could be a hand-off from Fedora version to CentOS version. -- Matthew Miller <mattdm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Fedora Project Leader _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
