[one-users] Nomadic CentOS repository: WHY?!?

[Damon (Albino Geek)]

Hello,

I found that there is actually a prebuilt 4.8 context RPM in one of their  
source trees (not GitHub).

As per the repo change, this new version actually makes more sense and  
follows proper repo format.
http://mirrors.kernel.org/centos/6/os/x86_64/ being an example repository  
that follows standard format.

The "stable" path part didn't make any sense considering how versions work  
in OpenNebula.
