A hearty "Welcome" from me as well!

unrar is yours now. Note that it's built already, so everything should 
be fine.

It's not that bad afaics:

* transcode needs libdvdread-devel as BR. We are waiting for that to 
show up in EPEL for some weeks now. Dominik, Rdieter, what the latest 
status? We really need to get this solved...

* transcode needs ImageMagick-devel as BR. That is not yet in EPEL. 
Orion, could you take care of that?

* transcode needs mjpegtools-devel; two problems:

** mjpegtools again requires SDL_gfx as BR, which is branched, but not 
built in EPEL. I filed a bug some minutes ago:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=472678

** mjpegtools needs a owner for RPM Fusions EL branch. Orion, would you 
be willing to take care of that?

Further please note that David Juran (transcode maintainer in RPM 
Fusion) said he wanted to take care of all his packages for EL as well, 
"as long as the dependencies are there":
http://lists.rpmfusion.org/pipermail/rpmfusion-developers/2008-August/000792.html

Orion, so getting the dependencies into EPEL/RPM Fusion might be all you 
need to do ;-) But maybe you want to become co-maintainer for EL?
