One way we've explored to increase the ecosystem is make more software available to members of our community. Whereas the openela-main repositories are intended for "bug-for-bug" compatible software that makes up the bulk of Enterprise Linux, we haven't lost sight of the openela-contrib area, which is intended to host the build files necessary to bring in additional software packages into the Enterprise Linux ecosystem. -## Goal: Solicit contributions for openela-contrib +## Goal: Continue making Enterprise Linux upgrades easier -There is a distinction between openela-contrib and openela/ repositories.
