Hi Karanbir,
The CentOS Project provides packages in addition to the packages from RH's sources. We need to ensure that these packages are tested in a user environment for a while, and only released to the public via the mirror.centos.org network once there is some reasonable surety as to the functional and bugs situation with the package.
I have a question if I may: what should the packages be tested for?
1. Readiness of the packaged software for enterprise environments. 2. Quality of the packaging.
If both, what has most weight? If [1] is important, I suppose the quality can partly be tested with regression tests (if the software includes regression tests, IMO all enterprise-class software should). [2] specifically requires people with enough knowledge of packaging to go over it.
