Posted by Michael Larabel on July 28, 2007

We've long had Fedora Extras, but yesterday Extras Packages for Enterprise Linux (EPEL) officially opened for yum-ing.

EPEL is community maintained by Fedora Project members and currently there are around 1,000 packages. The official EPEL announcement is available from the fedora-announce-list.
