If each shop is doing it themselves, that's a lot of wasted
productivity over the long haul. Ideally, this is done in EPEL which
will handle the default case (which is hopefully good enough for most
shops). After that shops may require adjustments to packages or
produce newer ones in year 3-7 of the RHEL lifecycle. I'd hope that
EPEL can at least be a decent starting point though.
I package up several things myself, mainly because I need it "now". I
have plans to push some of those packages to Fedora and EPEL (or just
EPEL, in the case of local rebuilds of Fedora packages), but I haven't
had enough round tuits to get that done.
I did separate my local RHEL repo into repos based on the source of the
package, like "fedora-add" for things I've rebuilt from Fedora,
"fedora-replace" for a few things where I needed a newer version than
RHEL/EPEL, "hiwaay-add" for my packages, etc. Ideally that will make it
easier for me to work with Fedora and EPEL to get my work into the
repos.
