Still discussing things. I am deliberating not pointing you to the links
respecting their choices to keep the effort more quiet although I
don't necessarily think it should be private.
The yum priorities plugin is a nice feature, but shouldn't been
necessary in a perfect world (isn't that the direction of Linux? :) )
Perfect world doesnt exist. All we can do is find the best way to cope
up with the imperfections.
How about a large database where packagers can add their packages
that
they have in their repo with no dobblets allowed, everything working
together? And most importantly the links to add the repos in yum.
Either the programs must respect ABI compatibility more and we can
encourage a more decentralized systems or we need a centralized
repository. A database of repositories is pick your poison method. If
they are really not conflicting with each other they could just merge
and skip the middle men.
