I know that the epel folks are trying to make it much easier for people to request and contribute / maintain builds in EPEL – it might be a good time to raise this issue and see if there is something you can help with.

Thanks, John! Yes, I do use Linux for about that long, yet I needed your kind help here. It sort of reminds me about one person I know: native English speaker, who was born in US, graduated high school will pretty good grades. And she hadn’t any idea what “SUV” stands for… (Sports Utility Vehicle I definitely should add here to be consistent myself). She new what that SUV thing looks like. And if you give _me_ the long list like: ABC, NFL, NHL, CBS, BCC, DMZ,…, then of those abbr. which I have heard and recognize I will only be able to expand into what they stand only half of them. Which I feel no shame about. We do save time using them. But: if you want me to understand you, put it the way I don’t have to decipher anything.
Thanks again for your help!

Just to add everybody some loughs: State of Georgia was as far as I came about GA without your help ;-)

Heh, I had to look it up too when it was first appearing in connection with, if I remember correctly, CentOS 6, or maybe earlier–or maybe later.
Shucks, I remember when I was studying for Cisco exams in the early double oughts, would see things like ATM here, and think, Wow, they must offer high speed Internet.
I never feel embarrassment about not knowing acronyms anymore. Of course, I’ve been married more than once, so I’m also fairly inured to criticism.

I think it’d be great if EPEL took over Georgia! :)

Hi guys, sorry for this newbie question but how I do add EPEL repo to my CentOS 7? In the past I do this as follow:
$ sudo rpm -Uvh http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/beta/7/x86_64/epel-release-7-0.2.noarch.rpm
But now I don’t know how to? Any help?
This is the most you would need to do:
yum clean all
From then on, all the packages in EPEL will be available for you to install just like the core packages are.
Cheers

You mean run only this command or run first the command sudo rpm -Uvh http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/beta/7/x86_64/epel-release-7-0.2.noarch.rpm and then yum clean all? I try the command sudo rpm -Uvh http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/beta/7/x86_64/epel-release-7-0.2.noarch.rpm and I got error since file doesn’t exists “curl: (22) The requested URL
returned error: 404 Not Found” so what other thing I should try?
Cheers and thanks
That is the beta URL (epel/beta/7), you need to full release RPM:

Thanks, I get it and now it’s working
