[Spacewalk-list] Repo woes

[Dimitri Yioulos]

(Can I assume that top-posting on this list is OK?).

Because they arrive much sooner than the native packages.  
Sernet usually creates the RPMs from the Samba Team's work 
within a couple of days of release.  I've used them for 
years with few problems.  From samba.org --> 
enterprisesamba.org:

"Since late 2003 SerNet provides Samba packages for 
enterprise ready Linux distributions, e.g. Red Hat 
Enterprise Server and Novell's SuSE Linux Enterprise 
Server, available on SerNet's download server."
