Absolutely. One way this might work is that we can run the OpenAFS effort part of the Storage SIG ( which is glusterfs and ceph at the moment ). They are going to try and consolidate into a single storage-related repo, but if there is a need to, they will split the contents into repos per project. We can then build centos-release-<project-name> rpms that we drop into CentOS-Extras/, this is then available via yum to everyone running the distro ver/arch that the project intends to support; and the -release delivers the yum repo configs, keys etc needed. > Out of curiosity, how much data would such a repo have to hold? As long as we dont need to replace anythig shipped in the distro, it shouldnt be too much. I dont know how the kmod's work and if they are built to handle kabi-whitelists etc, -- Karanbir Singh +44-207-0999389 | http://www.karan.org/ | twitter.com/kbsingh GnuPG Key : http://www.karan.org/publickey.asc _______________________________________________ OpenAFS-info mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openafs.org/mailman/listinfo/openafs-info
