Added them to CentOS should has been more simple for me. I dislike to 
deal with to many repositories/keys in our systems. But it's also the 
first accurate proposal that I've got, so I'll retain it.
In this case, I'll have also networks focused packages to push. Are 
there some technical reasons to didn't have choosed the ready to use 
RPMForge, which is already a fusion of some repos, instead of the 
upcoming RPMRepo ?
