Could we overcome some ( all ? ) of this overlap issue with relevant compat-package-version packages ? > Once we have the new builder in place it shouldnt be too much effort to > provide both. > > The same discussion presumably is also merited for what centos-extras > are linked against ??? Extras only link against base, since they dont overlap any of the functionality of the packages in base. Also, Extras are enabled by default, a user can 'yum install foo' from a stock install with no manual intervention or an 'opt in' required. If a package from Extras was to link against something in CentOSPlus, I'd presume that the package needs to be moved into CentOSPlus itself since its unusable in Extras. - KB -- Karanbir Singh : http://www.karan.org/ : 2522219 at icq
