1) Did one of you heard anything about future merger of the repos:
dag/dries/atrpms/centosplus/extras/karan ?
Are there any talks going on? What is the state of the
prospective merger? Or is this all merely a hearsay?
2) I repeat also my old question "whether someone tried to evaluate
or made feasibility study on transferring NetBSD pkgsrc Package
Manager to CentOS/SL/RH"?
What specific product are you talking about ?
Hi,
I do not understand your question.
First of all the topic of merging repos was mentioned by Radu-Cristian
FOTESCU on His blog and probably by Troy Dawson recently (I can't find
the post).
I believe I was talking about rpmforge, which I know Dag and Dries are part of,
and I think Axel is at least talking to. But I don't ever remember saying
anything about centosplus and extra's other than I think it might be a good
idea to make it easy for our users to get at them.

Second, pkgsrc is a collection of compilation and installation recipes.
Of course binary repository exists as well. All is based on sources.
pkgsrc is coherent as it's being kept together in one "chunk".
See the page and devote 3 min of your time to read it, please:

Thank you for the link. It sounds like it is different than I was thinking.
But in the end, I haven't heard of anyone trying to merge it into the RedHat
based distro's.
Troy
