“What’s new in CentOS 5.3? Well, first of all the software
repositories were combined into a single one, which will make it
easier for the end-user to update or install packages. Moreover, a
new option has been added in the installer, to allow them to add
third-party software repositories. “”Given the widespread requests
for user contributed packages directly being hosted within the
centos repositories, the contribs repository is now back with
CentOS-5.3. There are no packages yet, but over the next few weeks
we hope to have a policy and process in place that allows users to
submit and manage packages in the contrib repo.” – said Karanbir
Singh in the mailing list announcement.”
