Greetings.

I thought I would drop a reminder here about RHEL entitlements for EPEL
maintainers. If you are a maintainer of packages in EPEL, you can get a
entitlement to run RHEL to help you test and fix your package(s).

See: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL_RHEL_Entitlements

for more information and process to request your entitlement.

Hopefully this is useful to some.

I didn't get it. Does this offer include a ssh access to the RHEL boxes?

No.

It means you can get a free entitlement from Red Hat to install RHEL on
your own hardware or virtual and get updates to that install from rhn.
You must supply a machine or virtual platform to run it on.

Not so interesting then - we've got SL and CentOS already.
Unfortunately some issues exists only on some particular arches and
EPEL maintainers don't have so many spare ppc64 boxes available to
experiment with.

but CentOS and SL are not the same as RHEL even if they tell you
so :-)

_some_ EPEL maintainers have access to full set of supported
architectures ... you can always try asking if someone is willing
to test for you

ideally if you had some simple steps ready, like "run command
xyz, send me the console output and log from /a/b/c.log, please"

if there's a bug in RH bugzilla for your issue, you can try
putting me in QA contact (or on CC) and describe what do you need
to test in the comment
