Re: About CentOS forces...
Le 17/12/2014 23:27, Mark Stodola a écrit : I think the answer to that is no. The SL team made a decision to continue to spin their own independent set of packages and not become an add-on repository to the CentOS build. Someone please correct me if I am wrong... Yes, but the RHEL source srpms packages are now (RHEL 7) on a CentOS git repository, where RedHat put them, but without any signature to authentify them... https://git.centos.org/project/rpms See : http://lwn.net/Articles/603865/ So SL will rebuild the CentOS SRPMS (perhaps, certainly, not in the same way)...

Re: Clarity on current status of Scientific Linux build
Le 22/06/2014 22:42, Mark Rousell a écrit : Here is my current understanding. Please feel free to correct or confirm:- 1) RH now makes SRPMs available only to customers (but SRPMs are nevertheless still available on those terms). 2) The RHEL source is publicly also available on git.centos.org. 3) But it is not*absolutely* crystal clear what on git.centos.org is pure unadulterated RHEL source and what is CentOS source. 4) The SL project is writing tools to automatically extract RHEL source from git.centos.org. 5) SL7 will therefore be based on RHEL7 and definitely not on CentOS. 6) Anything I've forgotten? It seems it is more likely that Scientific LInux 7 will become a Special Interest Group (SIG) of CentOS 7.
