WBEL Repository like Freshrpms -- was Re: [WBEL-users] nvidia nforce boards and integrated NIC

[iron monkey]

This type of thing made me think about the idea of creating a
respository of WBEL rpms/srpms that would be outside the main
distribution just like freshrpms...  Or, maybe consider working with
the freshrpm people to see if they'd add WBEL to the list of rpms that
they track...

I understand the purpose of maintaining the core of WBEL to be direct
builds off of RHEL SRPMs, but would it be worth while to have
something like freshrpms for WBEL?

Maybe it's not really required because the RPMs from freshrpms would
probably work so there may not be any issues.

It's just a thought, would it even be worth it? 

Probably posting to the wrong list?
