Oh, wait ... The problem is that in all languages, words that mean "not part of the group", "not one of us" or "not like us" all have negative connotations for cultural reasons. Perhaps we need an unrelated word that has meaning to Mageia, but infers uniqueness without being pejorative. I suggest calling it the "paris" repository, a place for unique and useful applications that cannot be placed in any other repository for whatever reason. Then perhaps any local repository of one-off packages could always be labeled "paris-local" by default. -- Hoyt
