[Starlingx-discuss] StarlingX.repo using CentOS 7.3 binary repos instead of 7.4?

erlang*18.3.4.4*rpm are the ones to use.  The R16B version should have 
been excluded.


Yes, our mirror was of all ~30000 rpms.  In this way, when a designer 
adds a new package or dependency, it and it's recursive dependencies 
were already present and ready for use.

The method that has been concocted for StarlingX requires adding 
packages to .lst files every time there is a change.  Further there 
doesn't seem to be a tool to assist in the search for missing 
dependencies.  The result is likely to be several iterations of ...

    add package, compile, fail due to missing dependency,
    add package, compile, fail due to missing dependency ...

very time consuming and frustrating.
