Re: coprs and personal repos: [Was: Re: Firefox 4 for Fedora 14?]

It looks that copr will come soon. I have a question about it.

Could we add some dependencies from other copr repo? Fedora official repo sometimes could not offer the latest one but some packages need them.

  createrepo is not fp, on purpose, this could be changed - but it's
better to run it locally, if only b/c of whatever arbitrary arguments
you may want to add to it - not to mention the memory constraints.

  sure. - though we'd be better off generating an rpm which contains
the .repo file - so people could 'install' the repositories in the
strictest sense.
