I guess I assumed we were not aiming to replace RHEL base packages.
As for the other channels of software, we probably need to visit each
one. Does CentOS or Scientific currently repackage the other channels
that RH normally charges subscription for? Excuse my ignorance, we
are strictly a RHEL shop.
For example, Directory Server, Application Server, Developer Suite
Channel, etc are all add-on channels that have a lot of great packages
but are not part of the core RHEL base. Maybe it's a good topic for
this weekend's meeting?
AFAIK they don't. but i have never really looked.
Directory server is a special case. There is Red Hat Directory Server which
is paid for and comes with support etc. Then there is Fedora Directory
Server which is Free and comes with community support. I already have buy in
from the Directory Server guys to get Fedora Directory Server into EPEL.
Both use the same code base.
