26: Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux
What is EPEL? Why should you use it? We meet with Carl George to discuss why its important to have community projects available not just on Fedora but its downstream derivatives as well! We'll talk about getting started with EPEL packages, how to contribute, and what the plans are for the next iteration of EPEL repositories! The Fedora Podcast features interviews and talks with the people who make the Fedora community awesome! These folks work on new technologies found in Fedora, produce the distro itself, or help put Fedora into the hands of users. There is so much going on in Fedora that it takes a whole podcast series!
