Description

Instead of using external package repositories, we should host our own and introduce a test->production workflow where packages are first tested in a limited number of server then moved to production where they are applied to all servers. This should also speed up package installations by hosting locally.

    Just would like to update that this is still required. Every time there are new RPM packages, the mirrors take a long time to synchronize and we're left with non-deterministic deployment (yum running on each of our servers will connect to a different mirror and break due to missing files or wrong checksums).
