As much as I'd like to see CentOS as the basis for *everything* (I may
be a bit biased here), I don't think this is a good idea.
RHEL packages by their very nature will come out first. This puts EPEL
in a position to work with them immediately, and to remain impartial
across the rebuilding community (springdale/puias, centos, SL, that
database company, etc). If CentOS lags behind for some unforseen reason,
why put everyone else out until we get our act together? Same with every
other rebuild. We know RHEL packages will be out on time every time
because they're the ones delivering them.
Aren't we already using CentOS for EPEL 5 and 6 in the koji/mock
buildroots? 32 bit aside, what is the difference for 7?
This has been dealt nicely so far.
To me, the only current time it would make sense for CentOS to be
the
base repo would be for something RHEL doesn't ship, such as x86 or other
arch.
Considering we had CentOS in the buildroots, how have updates been managed
up to now? From my experience I can see CentOS package updates come almost
immediately after RHEL ones.
