I've been playing with CentOS 3.1 a bit recently since following fedora development on production servers is just more work than I have the time to do and RHEL sales doesn't seem to want to return my calls.
In any case, I'd like to continue using packages from fedora.us. I've pointed yum at the redhat9 repo, and things seem to work mostly ok. But I have some questions.
1. Is an explicit RHEL extras repository planned? It seems like at least adding the keywords to bugzilla and the buildsystem would be a good goal. I see Dag Wieers is managing to do it. OTOH, the rh9 repo is pretty close to fully compatible.
2. Some packages for FC2 (amavisd comes to mind) have dependencies on packages that are not included in rh9 or rhel, but have been included in more recent (fc1, fc2) core revisions. Would it be appropriate to include them in extras, tagged for the os's which don't include them only?
perl-MailTools and perl-TimeDate are a couple of the offending packages.
There are also a few packages that are marked only for FC1 or FC2, but are working fine on centos. What is procedure for adding platforms to existing extras packages, file a bug against them?
Thanks
