== How can I use these extra packages? ==
== 我怎样获取EPEL的软件包? ==


EPEL has an 'epel-release' package that includes gpg keys for package signing and repository information. Installing this package for your Enterprise Linux version should allow you to use normal tools such as yum to install packages and their dependencies. By default the stable EPEL repo is enabled, there is also a 'epel-testing' repository that contains packages that are not yet deemed stable.
EPEL有一个epel-release'包,这个包包含了gpg密钥和软件源信息。在您的企业版Linux发行版上用yum安装即可。除了这个源,还有一个'epel-testing'源,这个源包含最新的测试包,可能版本很新,但是安装有风险。


If you are running an EL6 version:  [http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/i386/epel-release-6-5.noarch.rpm epel-release-6-5.noarch.rpm]
如果您使用企业版Linux 6:  [http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/i386/epel-release-6-5.noarch.rpm epel-release-6-5.noarch.rpm]


NOTE: You need to also enable the 'optional' repository to use EPEL packages as they depend on packages in that repository.
注意: 有些第三方需要EPEL来安装依赖组件,请启用本源。


If you are running an EL5 version: [http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/5/i386/epel-release-5-4.noarch.rpm epel-release-5-4.noarch.rpm]
如果您使用企业版Linux 5: [http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/5/i386/epel-release-5-4.noarch.rpm epel-release-5-4.noarch.rpm]

You can verify these packages and their keys from the Fedora project's keys page: https://fedoraproject.org/keys

企业版Linux额外包(EPEL)

欢迎您来到企业版Linux额外包(EPEL)特别兴趣小组首页!

什么是企业版Linux额外包(EPEL)?

企业版Linux额外包(以下简称EPEL)是一个由特别兴趣小组创建、维护并管理的,针对红帽Linux及其衍生发行版(比如CentOS、Scientific Linux的一个高质量附加软件包项目。

EPEL的包通常不会与企业版Linux的官方软件源发生冲突,或者替换文件。EPEL与Fedora项目基本一致,包含完整的构建系统、升级管理器、镜像管理器等等。

更多信息请访问 EPEL FAQ

EPEL都提供什么类型或版本的软件包?

你可以道任意的EPEL镜像查看:mirror list

我怎样获取EPEL的软件包?

EPEL有一个epel-release'包,这个包包含了gpg密钥和软件源信息。在您的企业版Linux发行版上用yum安装即可。除了这个源,还有一个'epel-testing'源,这个源包含最新的测试包,可能版本很新,但是安装有风险。

如果您使用企业版Linux 6: epel-release-6-5.noarch.rpm

注意: 有些第三方需要EPEL来安装依赖组件,请启用本源。

如果您使用企业版Linux 5: epel-release-5-4.noarch.rpm


如果您使用企业版Linux 4: epel-release-4-10.noarch.rpm

History and background of the project

The EPEL project was born when Fedora maintainers realized that the same infrastructure that builds and maintains packages would be great to also maintain add on packages for Enterprise Linux. Much of the early need was driven by what Fedora infrastructure needed on the RHEL machines that built and maintained Fedora. From there things have grown to a large collection of varied packages. See our history and Philosophy page for more information.

How can I contribute?

The EPEL SIG is always looking for interested folks to help out. We always need package maintainers, qa/testers, bug triagers, marketing and documentation writers. Please see our Joining EPEL page for more information on how to join the SIG.

Communicating with the EPEL SIG

There are many ways to communicate with the EPEL SIG and it's members:

  • The #epel irc channel on irc.freenode.net offers real-time support for EPEL users and developers.
  • The epel-announce mailing list is a low volume mailing list for only important announcements.
  • The epel-package-announce list is a list that gets information about package updates as they happen in the stable repository.
