I like the current kernel development scheme; it might look a bit scary (especially for 2.6.24), but afaics it's way better then what we had in the past when new stuff (sometimes including drivers for new hardware) lingered around in 2.3 or 2.5. way to long.

A milestone: More than 1000 packages in EPEL5!

I'm proud to present some statistics from the "Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux (EPEL)" SIG:

$ repoquery -qa --archlist="src" --repoid=epel5-source --repoid=epel5-testing-source | wc -l
1006

In other words: we have now more then 1000 different software packages (counting SRPMs) in the EPEL5 repositories for RHEL5/CentOS5.

Thanks to all Fedora contributers that also participate in EPEL! You made this happen!

Next goal are 2000 Binary RPMs in EPEL5. Shouldn't take that long:

$ repoquery -qa  --repoid=epel5 --repoid=epel5-testing | wc -l
