similar, for example).)
Kevin, I didn't say that there isn't a need for such repo, I just said
that IMHO it is not our main problem in attracting 3rd party
repositories. After all, you and kwizart already take part (an
important part!) in RPM Fusion.
If I may add, I do not oppose the creation of such repository. The
only doubt about it is, because the packages in there wouldn't
"polished" (i.e. not peer reviewed, not in good shape, etc), what will
happen when users will have problems. Will they blame the quality of
RPM Fusion?
Bye,
Andrea.
