hi,
So we now have RHEL media, RHEL optionals and RHEL Extras. Optionals and media seems to tie in as before, however Extras has its own policy + lifeterm etc.
Thoughts on what we might do with those rpms ? I'd have though that putting them in CentOS-Extras would line up nicely. Content that is available out of the blocks to anyone with a CentOS install, but not themselves included in the distro.
thoughts ?
Well, my first reaction was "yeah, +1" like for other people who already answered. But I have to mitigate my anwer, as I see that "Extras (upstream one) has its own policy + lifeterm". Have we read that policy to be sure that packages that will appear in that repo will not overwrite base packages ? As, as I understand it, it's an additional repo/channel that people can decide to opt-in (not there by default) , which is not what we're doing, as our Extras repo comes with "enabled=1" .. or do we change it to "enabled=0" in our yum .repo file, so that people can easily opt-in if they want to ?
In addition/relation to that, because of the naming, users might think 'centos-extras' is a rebuild of 'rhel-extras'.
