Unless I've missed something (which is possible) there hasn't been any "public progress announcements" regarding rpmfusion in the past several weeks. Is there anything new to report? My ulterior motive is that I would love to have the convenience of a one-stop rpm shop for Centos/RHEL and Fedora, and it's my understanding that's what rpmfusion is intended to be... -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Melville Sask ~ http://www.melvilletheatre.com

Didn't see anything that looked like a recent overall progress update. The last post to the users list was almost a month back and the developers list is mostly concerned with individual packages and and not an overview. Dribble is apparently fully present and accounted for, but what of the other repositories? -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Melville Sask ~ http://www.melvilletheatre.com

Of course it needs more contributors, but it has already ported a significant amount of FC6's old 'extras' repo over (FC6 <-> EL5). I suspect that EL6 will be equivalent to F8 as F9 has just way too many new technologies that will take 2 years or more to settle down to stable technologies. -Ross ______________________________________________________________________ This e-mail, and any attachments thereto, is intended only for use by the addressee(s) named herein and may contain legally privileged and/or confidential information.
