I discovered this link, and some others, but if you look at the 
contents of the directory, it's rather incomplete. I think the
ibiblio.org directory has a lot more content.

Sorry, it's not enough to have this directory, but it actually
has torepresent the distro. I think some SRPMs are missing from
the redhat.com directories, or they have partitioned up the 
directires in some very inconvenient ways.

I'm showing my advanced age, perhaps my memory of the Red Hat
site from days gone by (no, not back in Harding administration:)
where one could find, fairly easily where this stuff was. I
think Bruce frequents this site more than I.
