I agree and would like join with some of my stuff.
Hmmm. kde-redhat is something special, so a dedicated repo for it makes
a lot of sense afaics.
But do you need to have your own dedicated experimental repo. Might a
general experimental repo be a better solution? Not sure myself, just
want to hear options...
But the question is what should be the relation between new repo and
RPMFusion
BTW: It's "RPM Fusion" (with space) ;-)
and Fedora
1. can contain packages that are already in RPMFusion/Fedora?
and when 1 = yes then
Yes. Otherwise merging kde-redhat afaics wouldn't make much sense
2. can include packages newer then rawhide?
I'd say so. (As long term gnome user) I'm not familiar at all with
kde-redhat, but I think that's what they also do now and then (like
preparing kde 4.2 before it hit rawhide or 4.1 before it hit F9?)
3. can contain backports of rawhide packages to stable releases?
I'd say so.
In general: I wouldn't want to many rules for those repos. But we need
to be very careful. Having to many of those repos could be dangerous
(for us), confusing (for the users) and time consuming (for infra and
the people that take care of the infra). And we of course need to make
sure that the main repo remains the repo that normally offers everything
ordinary users want.
