I just ran across this post by kbsingh and figured RDO folks might find it relevant: http://www.karan.org/blog/2014/11/13/epel-orphaned-packages-and-their-dep... The tl;dr is that it looks a number of packages in EPEL are going to disappear in the near future unless they acquire new maintainers. This includes a number of things relied on by the RDO packages (like "python-boto", and "pytz", for example). -- Lars Kellogg-Stedman <lars(a)redhat.com&gt; | larsks @ {freenode,twitter,github} Cloud Engineering / OpenStack | http://blog.oddbit.com/
