A dedicated "math" repo like really is not needed -- those packages are
likely more suitable for a general experimental and/or staging repo. But
I guess some sort of spits by area will be needed -- I guess that (for
example) the kde-redhat users likely don't want to get highly
experimental graphics drivers from the same repo when they run yum-update.
Or how would you solve that? Excludes and includepkgs statements in the
repo files are likely way to complicated...
I should have known it will be complicated, but let's try to categorize
the possible stuff:
- new packages => no conflicts with Fedora/RPM Fusion => 2 repos (stable
+ testing), stable enabled by default
- existing packages
- experimental
- examples: codeblocks
- backports
- examples:
- forwardports (new stable versions from Fedora into EL)
- examples: zabbix (no rebase 1.4->1.6 planned due DB
changes etc, but some users would appreciate to have
the 1.6)
- one repo for each category, disabled by default, user
must manually enable the repo and pick the package he
want to install or update
- special cases like kde-redhat - 2 repos (again stable +
testing) per case, stable enabled by default
Does this sound feasible?
