dare i ask for one more readme file for it's parent directory to explain what is:

• addon
• centosplus
• contrib
• extras

actualy i don't see the diffrence between them...(addon <-> extras)?

there was a letter on the list which described the naming convention. http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos/2005-May/005618.html

Follow the link. Most important: centosplus packages may _replace_ official and tested rpms. Extras are built by developers, contribs built by users.

yes, i read it, but if soemone missed that, than it'd be useful in the mirror site too. on the other side what's the difference wbetween addon and extras?
