I got sick of waiting for others to package the bleeding edge tools I want and use. For years I’ve been using RHEL, Centos and now Rocky Linux. Life is easier when you have a Yum repo. I often build VMs and Docker images that rely on this repo.

Packages
Often I will find some copol project floating around that seems easy to compile, so I’ll add a project for it in the organisation, get CI to pick it up and publish to the repo.
Other times I will be using a common package (like skopeo) and realise the very latest version has changes I want, yet the distribution repos haven’t caught up yet. That’s where I come in.
