If you are going to do this I would like to request that the srpms for the centos-release package are released at the same time as the distro. I use custom repos for my machines and rebuild the centos-release package with a higher NVR so that all of my machines pull from my repos. This gets broken every time a new update comes out and updates the centos-release package. In the recent past the centos-release srpm has been MIA for some period of time after the distro release. Also, would the CR repo be accessible via rsync? Regards, -- Tom me at tdiehl.org Spamtrap address me123 at tdiehl.org
