+# I'm seeing weird things with f14 nodes and an f8 myplc server
+# I suspect that the f8-based createrepo binary does not do the right thing,
+# as the node (onelab09.pl.sophia.inria.fr) issues a lot of 
+# 'package does not match intended content'
+# before reaching this conclusion I have entirely rebuilt the server-side yum repos
+# by (*) checking the gpg keys (*) yum reinstalling all noderepos 
+# and on top of that manually re-running createrepo
+# of course the node had gone through yum clean all as well
