Many thanks Nicolas, I fully agree, acer related problems should not be
here.  Until now, there have not been any problems using fc8 repos, livna
etc with acer and I hope acer users can continue using those repos.  Of
course there is no guarantee of working and it is up to acer users to solve
any possible problems by themselves.

I have managed to install 0.9.4 just using your instructions (copy missing
dependencies etc.) and seve's rpm's without problems by myself and question
was mainly just availability of 0.9.5 rpm just for standard fc8 users (It's
up to me to take care of any acer related issues if there are any)?

(for ex I have one additional standard fedora installation and use vlc on
that also)

Thanks
Tarmo
