whoo. i lost the way. what i like to see is actually one
external repo
for fedora and one external repo for centos. to clear this a
bit further
i'd like to see a things a bit more clear:
centos:
- centos base (here centosplus can replace some base
packages)
- centos extras (which is disjunct from centos base)
- EPEL
- one other addon repo let's call it addon
fedora:
- fedora base
- one other addon repo let's call it addon
if atrpms in not among the above rpm i don't really care if
these repos
contains those packages.
but there are a few things which would be useful:
- EPEL only contains packages which is in fedora but not in
centos ie:
EPEL = fedora - centos. those packages which are added to
centos dropped
from EPEL.
- the addon repo in fedora and centos actualy should have to
be the same
repo. what i don't really like eg. amavis and clamav rpms
are packaged
_very_ different way in rpmforge and fedora.
- actualy centos extras can be merged with centos-addon but
i don't
really belive that centos people will do it.
how far we're from this right now (i mean at least in theory
not the in
the implementation phase)?
