Is a separate repo with a expressive name and corresponding wiki page not enough (like CR)?
- Provide the packages in a form that is consumable for individuals and the EPEL community
I'd like to propose that we create a separate repository, disabled by default that is composed of the -devel packages that we care about, bundled in a module.\
Why modules? What problem gets addressed? Why not just dropping the unshipped build output into a separate repo?
Any unshipped package that is the member of a module is part of a blacklist in the distro repodata. If we don't bundle these into a module, there's no way for your workstation to know that this package is intended to be installable.
Thanks for clarifing this!
