Yes - there is no point having both the linuxsoft entry and your own, as
they are both mirrors. The best configuration is to have the second
entry as the grid-deployment site, this way you will pick up the updates
as soon as they are available (ie before your mirroring script runs).

You can put them there by hand, or use yaim's install_node script which
will configure them for you. Yaim uses the value of the LCG_REPOSITORY
variable you mention earlier to create lcg.list.

The swig entry is there to give priority to the LCG version of swig,
which unfortunately is different to both the SL3 snd SLC3 versions. It
is not an example of giving one OS priority over another. To give
priority to your OS (SL3) over SLC3 you need the second and third of the
three entries in the example.
