All packages have been imported, rebuilt and pushed to RPM Fusion Fedora 20 free 
repository.
The packages have been dead.package'ed in Fedora' GIT for f20 and master branches.

The next remaining task is to retire the packages in the pkgdb. Unfortunately, 
commit rights are not enough to be able to do that, so I've requested 
approveacls rights. Either grant me this right or retire the packages on your 
own. If you retire the packages, make sure to do f20 first, then devel.
See https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_remove_a_package_at_end_of_life#Package_DB

I'll take care of comps, spins and upstream release monitoring next.

Thanks to everyone involved, we are really close now.

Xavier
