hi,
Background: the webstack on C4 is only available in the CentOSPlus repo since it overwrites packages from the base repo.
For the Webstack on C5, Johnny and I spoke about and want to propose changing that a little bit. Essentially, move the webstack to a subdirectory under the CentOSPlus repo and have metadata for Just the Webstack available as an option for people who dont want the rest of CentOSPlus.
I am having difficulty seeing the benefit of having it as a subdirectory rather than as a separate repo that may contain the same packages hardlinked ??
I dont think mirrors restrict the repos that they mirror ??
I appreciate that it would need to be added to yum conf, but that would be the case anyway with a subdirectory.
As rhwas is a separate product I propose that we have a separate repo for it.
