If we do so we end to the question
Should we make a specific repo for each specific field and let the user
pick the repo he is interested in.

There will be then a repo for EPEL, a repo for Bioinformatics... but
even, how would you distinguish the different repo ?
Is electronic part of the EPEL, but I guess there are some software
there that are used in others sciences...
R is used in bioinformatics but can be also used for statistics or for
data manipulation... Would you split the different libraries of R into
different repo ?

It is an idea but have to be investigated, and also the way for the user
to find where are the software he is interested in... I see a big work
there...

Pierre
