This is my first packages on RPM Fusion (I'm a fedora packager). They cannot go
in fedora, since they are kernel modules.
SPEC: http://www.dorsal.polymtl.ca/~ybrosseau/fedora/kernel/lttng-modules.spec

%description
The LTTng project aims at providing highly efficient tracing tools for Linux.
Its tracers help tracking down performance issues and debugging problems
involving multiple concurrent processes and threads. Tracing across multiple
systems is also possible.
This package contains the LTTng kernel modules. These provide
the ring buffer library and the kernel tracer itself

Description:
Use this package to install the packages required to run vmware locally.
This package does not include the free vmware-server or vmware-server-console
package itself. They can be obtained from the vmware website.
Can't be in Fedora:
- it's a meta package
- it enables use of non fedora software
- the proper packaging should really be done by the upstream author.
- the upstream is not open source
- the upstream do not support the fedora distribution
- FESCO discussed it recently, and voted that helper packages for third party
apps shall be blocked from Fedora:

=====
So, do we want to allow helper packages like this in RPM Fusion ?
Note it does not Require: any packages external to Fedora/RPM Fusion, nor does
it attempt to download them.
Others have mentioned that other external no source apps might include skype
etc, that could receive similar RPM Fusion packaging assistance ?
