Dear Andrew. >> (like the Contrib repo) are getting a bit clearer so I >> guess we are on the right track. > > Contib repo !!! What Contrib repo ? The last time i tried to > contribute i was told to head on to Fedora or rpmforge. The Contrib repository has been re-invented in CentOS 5.3 but it's still not clear what it's for. From the official announce: ... Given the widespread requests for user contributed packages directly being hosted within the centos repositories, the contribs repository is now back with CentOS-5.3. There are no packages yet, but over the next few weeks we hope to have a policy and process in place that allows users to submit and manage packages in the contrib repo. ...
