Hi,
Kafo could have some decent use cases outside of Foreman and Katello, such
as creating custom application installers (something I'm looking at doing
right now). Any chance the relevant packages could be contributed to EPEL?
Cheers,
James
That would be quite interesting, however Kafo still evolves quite fast so I'm
not sure we could keep up with uploading new versions to EPEL. Any volunteer
for that? I'm not sure what would the requirements be to get package into EPEL
and about spec file prerequisites.

Are you at a decent initial version that folks could use? Perhaps put it
into Fedora and epel as a test? Statting it may change fast.

My main (selfish) worry would be ensuring Foreman's
installer continues to work with the version available in Fedora and
EPEL at the time. Adherence to some kind of semver scheme, pinning
compatible versions in our spec file and if necessary, adding it back to
our repo would handle that though.
The spec file would need a bit of cleaning, but otherwise is OK.

There are already people using it so I'd say yes. But maybe some users may
answer this better

My packaging experiences tell me that it is good idea to start with one
or two Fedora versions and only if that works well, move to EPEL.
What is released in EPEL stays on the same version – kinda forever.
Easy to do, hard to master.
