EPEL Repository Now Open

Posted by Michael Larabel on March 04, 2007

The EPEL (Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux) repository is now open and available for use. The EPEL repository is the Red Hat enterprise Linux equivalent of Fedora Extras. On top of supporting Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4/5, the RPM repository should also work with CentOS and other RHEL-based distributions. I have covered additional information on EPEL here.
