Great, and yes, the GRASS GIS mailing lists a very useful resource
(btw: started in 1991!).

How can we advertise them better?

I suppose you refer to the Centos repos? That I also found annoying.
So much that I reformatted our server :p, switching to a different
distro.

However, the Fedora (not the same thing!) geo-related repos are
sufficiently well maintained.

Yes. Feel free to contact me personally if you still lack packages on
Centos, maybe I have an idea.

Cheers
