Have some any reason against add blodrake's repository in this page?
If not i'm glad to write some about it --katnatek (talk) 03:09, 28 February 2021 (UTC)

Yes! STOP using names that end with mga7.src.rpm or mga7.rpm

Those are not Mageia packages. If one of those packages causes a problem when upgrading a Mageia installation to the next release, the Mageia bugsquad and others who debug upgrade problems will waste time looking into it until they eventually realize it's a non-mageia package.

For example, change libcurl3-gnutls-7.71.0-1.1bdk.mga7.src.rpm to libcurl3-gnutls-7.71.0-1.1.bdk7.src.rpm and the package names generated from the srpm.

Then the repo would be welcome to be mentioned here. As it is the repo should not be used by anyone other then you, let alone encouraged here.
