Hi,
I work with the RDO project - http://openstack.redhat.com/ - where we're trying to make OpenStack as easy as possible to deploy on CentOS, RHEL, Fedora, et al. Since CentOS is (at least anecdotally) the leading platform that we're seeing used with RDO, we're wondering what we can do to make RDO easier to consume on CentOS, and, more generally, what we can do to make OpenStack easier on CentOS.
Personally when something is in EPEL or the base repo that's where I start trusting being able to install/use it. I realize that RDO likely changes a whole lot quicker than distros like RHEL/CentOS. So solving that so that you can have RDO packages in EPEL - perhaps in parallel (all in the repo but conflicting with each other or something). Would go a long way to getting people to try it I imagine.
At the last Centos dojo in Belgium I gave a talk on why the RDO repos exist, and why OpenStack packages were moved _from_ EPEL:
http://www.pixelbeat.org/talks/rdo_centos/
tl;dr Packages are in preferred in base or EPEL, but due to various constraints ideally there is a repo hierarchy, including Centos SIG repos, as shown in the above talk.
thanks, Pádraig.
