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 family, it seems like an obvious idea to me, but why not create a "centos7-devel" branch that is public work that is intended to go into the next upstream 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 wouldn't be surprised if this has come up before but I couldn't
figure out any keywords that would find previous conversation on this topic from the archives)
