It turns out that the catalyst driver package is orphaned and broken( GDM fails to start). So just posting a patch in the bug obviously is not sufficient, as there is nobody to commit it.

So as Nicolas suggested I decided to   fix it by becoming a maintainer :)

I went trough the Contributing page in the wiki, following the steps  . As far as I understand, I need to be added to cvsextras in order to be able to commit. But do I need this for checkout ? 

Also the example there show <tree> for CVS root. If I understand correctly for Fedora 19, this will be update-testing ?

Cheers,
