Holidays screw up schedules " * KojiAndBodhiForEpel * mmcgrath> the wheels are in motion to try to get funding for an intern but nothing concrete yet. * RHEL 5.1 (and 4.6) for the builders * thats done now, right? * how to do it next time still under discussion * nirik> | another issue related here: updates for builders? would it be hard to get them to pull updates into the buildroot ? * mmcgrath> | If we decide thats what we want to do we'll also have to figure out a way to do it. Right now going from RHEL5 -> 5.1 involved me downloading the DVD's, copying RPM's over and running createrepo. * more on the list * update http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL/GuidelinesAndPolicies * nirik> | I updated the page... if everyone could look and correct/add/modify, feel free. * Free discussion * anything planned on EPEL at FUDcon?
