If there is something that you want added to contrib's on CentOS4, get
in touch with me or Johnny. But before you do that, check list :
- that its not a Base Pkg
- not hosted by Dag
- not a part of Fedora Extras.
Then, think of what is involved, and if you are ready to track that
package for security fx's, changes, updates for a CentOS release cycle.
If the pkg requires some changes to the base pkg tree, we might still
consider hosting it - if its of general use to people ( eg. php5 makes
for a good candidate here ).
As far as Fedora Extras is concerned, I have the complete tree built
here in testing - its been built on and for CentOS4. If you are
interested in helping me test these pkgs, email me offlist and I will
share the repo details with you. I dont want to publish the repo details
as yet, since there are lots of things not tested.
Any packages hosted by Dag and also a part of Fedora Extras ( there are
a _lot_ ) will not make it through - I prefer you use Dag's repo for those.
