It's definetely not going to be used here directly, I am rebuilding various
rpms from Fedora/EPEL/etc that go to our repository so it shouldn't be a
problem at least for the DAG rpms that don't conflict with the system
ones or the other repositories.
Does this mean also that developers/experiments are free to use/request
to install whatever is avalaible on the DAG repository? What happens if
the rpms needed conflict with the system ones? Who decides which DAG
rpms are acceptable for use in a system? I guess it's going to be a free
for all as always.
It is funny that LCG can not maintain a stable repository and suggests to use
DAG considering that only three people are involved with DAG/RPMForge and
manage to maintain ~4000 packages with few problems.
Cheers,
Kostas
