We would, in my opinion, only be able to include one or the other release file in our extras repo as installing both produces broken yum installs of packages. That is but one example. I personally would have no real problem with both an epel-release and an elrepo-release RPM in CentOS Extras ... but then why not also nux-desktop or remi or repoforge? Those will not all work together, who do we leave out? Both EPEL and ELRepo have said they do not want to be a CentOS SIG and want to be "independent". We have offered and they have refused .. Okay fine, that is their choice, they are independent. If you want them in CentOS, tell them on their lists to join as a CentOS SIG. Even IF we included these repos and they were disabled, the people who can not find how to do one yum install command in the wiki would also not be able to enable the .repo file without looking at the same wiki page or ask on IRC to get instructions. It is the same amount of time to edit a .repo file and enable it as to do yum install some-release-file.rpm. If we are going to put the release files in, then we need to have at least the most common options enabled. So, which do we add in and who gets left out ... personally to be fair, I think they should all be left out instead of picking favorites. I would also certainly not want to enable anything by default that replaced core packages. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
