For a long time, Red Hat engineers have dropped public RPMs onto people.redhat.com. Now that CentOS is a more official part of the

update?
Several of the existing repos like virt7-testing and atomic7-testing could simply be folded into this repo.
+1, given that packages like docker could be relevant to atomic and
virt.
As well as these "hand built" RPMs: http://people.redhat.com/lnykryn/systemd/ http://people.redhat.com/~rjones/libguestfs-RHEL-7.1-preview/
And I'm sure others.
I'd love to see epel get combined with this as well, but I'm probably speaking with a docker-tunneled vision.
I don't think EPEL could fit in here because the audience for EPEL is a
lot
more conservative in what they want than what people working on anything from this decade want. 45% of EPEL users are EL-5, 50% are EL-6 and 5%
are
EL-7. Projects which are aimed at the EL-7 -> EL-8 space will get a lot
of
pushback from users when things get updated (this is the reason openstack and various other tools have had to been pulled from EPEL in the past..)
That said, I had an idea called EPIC which might be a better place for
these
items.
I think you are missing the point of conservatism, which is about not
And I think you are jumping to conclusions about my point. So we are both at a loss to how to communicate.
