thx; just wondering: should we add links to the merged SRPMs, too? Then
I would volunteer to import them and build then, wich should speed
things up.
BTW, for those that are not much interested in EL but would like to see
their packages in "RPM Fusion for EL&EPEL 5" I'm heary volunteering to
be per-release-maintainer for such packages in the EL-branch as long as
* there is a owner ("primary maintainer") for the Fedora branch of
rpmfusion that for the foreseeable future takes care of the package
* the package does not contain a kernel module or depends on a package
with a kernel module (that might change later)
* the Fedora-branch maintainer promises to drop me a line or open a bug
if a new Fedora package or upstream version gets released with a
security relevant bugfix
* the Fedora-branch maintainer handles bugs reported against EPEL if the
bug is also in the package of the Fedora-branch
All the other stuff (building, adjustments for EL, get BRs into EPEL)
I'll try to take care of over the next months (help appreciated).
