The problem is there are a fair number of packages that are not overlapping but depend upon overlapping. So it really is difficult if you have a sizeable repository like Axel does. AFAIK he's also supporting a large number of Fedora releases, and he's not charging anybody any money for it either. I think there could be a better solution that would allow him to spend more time on packages and less on repo monkey work. -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
