Typically we're still anal enough to build from source RPMS and push to our
groups satellite (RHEL) channels for distribution.
But the CentOS project - especially using a dedicated repo would be
the best option I've heard of so far - and one we might use.

Being in CentOS' Extras repo sounds great, but what about all the other RHELs
out there, including RHEL itself?
I'm not very experienced in making packages but what would be nice is if there
was an OpenAFS repo all by itself. This way CentOS/RHEL/Scientific
Linux/Whatever could just add that repo and install away. Additionally this
makes it easy for Satellite/Spacewalk users to add the repo to their servers to
push out to their systems (much in the way can be done with Dell's repo for
example).
Would the CentOS Project be willing to host a dedicated OpenAFS repo rather than
using CentOS' Extras repo?
Out of curiosity, how much data would such a repo have to hold?

Hi,
I work on the CentOS Project effort.
We would be very happy to offer code hosting, build services and deliver
of rpm content via the primary CentOS repos. We dont have any
no-kernel-module policy and we also try and build the process in a way
that allows upstream communities to deliver the user experience they
want. In this case, openafs, as a project, could chose what the update,
release, patch and feedback policy is going to be.
Depending on how people feel, I'd image hosting in CentOS-Extras/ would
be good, it would allow openafs to be a single yum command away (
Extras/ is enabled by default ).
If this is interesting, then I will setup conversations and scope /
PoC's with the Storage SIG folks in the CentOS Project. Happy to field
questions in the mean time.
Regards,
