Communicating with EPEL

There are many ways to communicate with EPEL and its members:

  • The epel:fedoraproject.org channel on offers real-time support for EPEL users and developers.

  • The #epel IRC channel on Libera Chat is a secondary chat location, but is not bridged to Matrix.

  • The epel-devel mailing list is for general EPEL discussion. Historic archives are available.

  • The epel-announce mailing list is a low volume mailing list for only important announcements.

  • The epel-package-announce mailing list is a list that gets information about package updates as they happen in the stable repository.

  • If you find a bug in a EPEL maintained package, please report it to https://bugzilla.redhat.com/ under the "Fedora EPEL" product.

  • Infrastructure issues (mirrors, repos, etc.) should be reported to Fedora releng.

  • The EPEL Steering Committee meets on Wednesday every week in the Fedora Meeting 1 Matrix channel. The time is not tied to U.S. daylight savings time, so it is at 18:00 UTC regardless of the time of year. Please check the time on the epel calendar; sometimes it can change or a meeting can be skipped. Feel free to join us! Logs of past meetings can be viewed in meetbot.

  • The EPEL Steering Committee has monthly office hours for the EPEL project.
