Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux

Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux (EPEL) is an initiative within the Fedora Project to provide high quality additional packages for CentOS Stream and Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL). The goal for EPEL packages is to enhance these distributions, without disturbing or replacing packages from the default repositories. EPEL packages should, when possible, be maintained in similar ways to packages from the default repositories.

Issue Tracker

EPEL issues can be filed in the steering issue tracker. EPEL issues are meant for tracking work needed on packages in the various EPEL repositories. Items to be reported are problems with packages over-riding core RHEL/CentOS packages, clarifications on policy that need to be dealt with in weekly meetings, and agendas of weekly meetings.

Problems NOT to be reported are bugs in packages or requests to create new EPEL branches of packages. These need to be filed in Red Hat Bugzilla. Release Engineering issues (koji, bodhi, etc.) should be reported in the releng issue tracker. Infrastructure related issues should be reported in the fedora-infrastructure issue tracker.

Documentation

EPEL documentation sources are being hosted in the following repository.

The results are published via Fedora Docs:
