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?
