Check a list of package names. That will catch the many obvious 
duplicates in your repo now. It is not that hard to look over the whole 
list manually either. We will worry about filenames later.

The point is not about finding blame. It is just that you evidently have 
a lot of packages in your repo, you don't need to anymore. Just drop 
them in your repo and we can avoid conflicts for those.

Otherwise, you are free to import and maintain the packages directly in 
the Fedora repository instead of your own which will work just fine as 
well.

There are dozens of third party repositories and asking every 
maintainers to cross check the entire list isn't that feasible. When it 
is, I am all for it.
