I'd like to say this. Dag et al have done wonderful job and I thank youfor it Dag. But we (the community, fellow I know, myself) have beenwanting and willing to cooperate on much huge basis, I personally feelthis way. I'm talking about rpmrepo.org project. I guess Dag's interestin this project was driven by the problems with his repo too which someof you are complaining about. The aim was to create platform, notstrictly focused on enterprise. We wanted create something mixed.Something with enterprise, testing, backport levels and efforts. Theproject has been started but never really haven't happened.
So we have centosplus and extras which are the repos with "accessdenied" for packages inclusion. Dag's rpmforge which is so huge with alot of dependencies not suitable for "testing/bleeding edge/alternative"packages. So what's the suitable repo? That's why people are going torun own repos.... :o( I do it myself.
I guess we need suitable platform we can use within the centos communityand we need it now.Regards,David Hrbáč_______________________________________________CentOS mailing listCentOS@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
