Thus, Docker is one more case of a repo we need to filter. We already know of several such repos. They are all basically the same kind of issue: we should make filtered repos. Does someone want to work on making some filtered repos? All you need to do is arrange to be able to serve a filtered version of some repository. You don't need to set up an actual site: the FSF can do that. -- Dr Richard Stallman President, Free Software Foundation (gnu.org, fsf.org) Internet Hall-of-Famer (internethalloffame.org) Skype: No way!
