Nobody could be aware that you do not know about rpmforge and know your way yourself. -> https://rpmrepo.org/RPMforge/Using We all use it, we (most of us) do not package for it. rpmforge is one of the biggest repos for RHEL, if not the biggest. You will find that a few of the stuff you looked for are already there, you will fond some more in other repos like atRPMS, EPEL, CentOS-Testing, Karanbir Singh's repo. Not necessarily everything you want. Partly because what you want/offer is already part of CentOS, just an older version. You should understand that most people *want* to use what comes with CentOS and only add packages from other repos if these are not part of CentOS. As it seems you want to offer newer versions of quite a few packages that are already part of CentOS. I'm sure that some people can take advantage of that. However, you should be aware that most of "us" won't even see these packages as we use the yum priorities plugin to explicitely stop other repos from overriding CentOS base packages. You do not need to join rpmforge for offering your packages. Just create a repo with your packages and announce it. Sooner or later people that want these packages will find you. There are quite a few specialized repos out there that "deal" only in certain types of software or just in one package.
