I tried this during the summer, and while I was able to branch and push several deps in EPEL, I didn't get it all the way to completion: http://lists.rpmfusion.org/pipermail/rpmfusion-developers/2011-July/00992...

See: https://bugzilla.rpmfusion.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1250 http://lists.rpmfusion.org/pipermail/rpmfusion-developers/2011-October/01...

I haven't tried lobbying the RH maintainer (I guess it would be Spot?) for a newer libvpx. And even if it got incremented, I imagine it would be in RHEL 6.3, which will take a while for that to trickle down through to CentOS :)

I had to patch MythTV's weather plugin because RHEL 6 has a perl-Date-Manip that is too old. Upstream didn't take the patch (http://code.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/9921) but there's nothing keeping us from using the patch in RPM Fusion.
