sigh. RHEL + external kernel modules is so broken, thanks to the Fedora 
religion :-(

The repositories (packages *and* metadata) are just rsynced from the place 
where Stephen provides them. Omitting select packages and rebuilding the 
metadata is certainly doable but yet more work for which there is no manpower 
available.

I'll see what I can do but please don't hold your breath...

Thanks for the report. At least it proves that some are still using the 
repository.

NB what are you using (or going to use) for EL7?

        Stephan
