My images are no longer at redsleeve, they did not make the move to a 
new server.  You will find them at:

When Fabian goes live with the repos, I am going to start building and 
see how far I get.

I am thinking of trying an rsync of the epel7 noarch rpms and a 
createrepo here  and see where that gets me.  It of course would be 
better if someone on the build team does this.
