Perhaps we should follow the approach other distributions seem to use.
Official Mageia repos:
Core: The core Mageia distribution (IMHO, should contain only a very minimal
instalation (No GUI or Productivity software).
Desktop: GUI and Productivity software.
Server: The various sserver software that would not normally be used on a
Desktop system.
Community: Community suppoted GPL software
Non-Official Mageis repos (optional):
Non-GPL: Software that is not GPL Licensed
Extra: Software that can not be included in the above categories
Since I am not knowlegable about running an FTP mirror, I do not know whether
it is best to put these listings under a single tree, or to split them into
two trees, but if we split them, perhaps we could approach PLF to host the
Non-officvial repos?
This is only a suggestion (and we may have already moved past this point), but
perhaps this will let us be more flexible to the end users (both DeskTop and
Server).
