Re: [CentOS-devel] Why not a fusion between CentOS and SL?

2011/3/23 Устинов Александр Александрович rusfearuth@gmail.com:

SL has extra packages (it means they wasn't included into RHEL) that was included in it. ... we have added several packages to Scientific Linux that are not found anywhere in the upstream release, including IceWM, OpenAFS, Revisor, Live USB Creator, YUM auto-update, external YUM repositories... (c) from http://distrowatch.com/?newsid=06549 SL and CentOS like two people that go different ways, but have the common base. Kind regards, Alexander Ustinov

Can those packages go in a separate channel, much as "centosplus" is a separate channel? I don't have the spare environments to really spin that distribution up right now for the side by side comparison.
