Hi Paul, this kind of stuff is currently in development. The yume package should allow for a flexible choice of local or remote repositories. Also I'd like to aim at splitting up the packages in OS/Distro packages and OSCAR packages. This will make it easy to use a remote repo for the OS/Distro. I didn't have in mind to use remote OSCAR repos, but this could also be done, of course. Currently this has nothing to do with OPD, it is more aimed at mixing distros and architectures in the same OSCAR cluster (heterogeneous setups).
