[Arm-dev] Announcing temp home for epel7-noarch

Got the initial repo built.  You can access it by:

cat <<EOF>/etc/yum.repos.d/epel.repo || exit 1
[epel]
name=Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux 7 - noarch
baseurl=http://repo.medon.htt-consult.com/epel7/noarch
enabled=1
#gpgcheck=1
#gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-EPEL-7
EOF

Note that is is on the 1st known production Centos7-arm server!

I don't know if the gpg signing done for epel carried over to my 
createrepo, and am not going to take the time to test it, but others can 
and tell me  :)

I will set up a cron job to update this repo weekly.  For example, 
roundcubemail is 1.1.3 with 1.1.4 in testing.  At some point it will get 
moved, and I will pick it up on my weekly repo update.

This is TEMPORARY!

I do have a 3Mb uplink, but I really don't want to be the long-running 
home for this.  At some point we want to get the epel team to at least 
provide a noarch repo, but prefereably the armv7 repo.

Now on to see if I now have everything, or if I DO need some specific 
armv7 rpms...

And of course, let me know if there are any problems, or any kudos....

Oh and if someone whats to take this over, I will share whatever help 
they need to do that!
