My suggestion: Let's do it just like Red Hat.
Why ?
Because it is much clearer.
A desktop / workstation version and a server version. (With the same repos)
If someone is missing something he can still install it with yum.
CentOS 6 Server (about 3,2 GB) CentOS 6 Workstation (about 4 GB)
What about the other variants ?
The client variant?
[os] [updates] [optional] [extras]
So, are you saying use 'optional' and put updates for pkgs into the same place ?
To prevent these problems, I propose to use an extra update repo for optional packages.
For example:
[optional-updates]
On the other hand, retaining the name 'optional' might make it easier for people comparing upstream and centos - and perhaps share configs.
I am sure to continue to use [optional].
Best regards,
Morten
