Re: Do we need rpmfusion-unstable repositories ?

Just with my previous message. I've suggested the need of having
the
nvidia beta driver provided from a separate repository.
Actually there are others cases where it would be needed:
-vlc is now at 0.9.x but still has very hard regression (VLM, vlvc,
interaction with dependents software) from 0.8.6x, which last is
officially unsupported (despite the unreleased 0.8.7 version is here to
collect patches).
- ieee1394 stack is still needed for some driver like
http://www.ffado.org/ (it may also need compat-libraw1394 unless the
dual stack mode works).
- Experimental packages (that do not fit Fedora guideline yet) could
benefit to be widely distributed. (I'm think of freevo from my personal
repository right now, which isn't ready for review yet).
- Might be other needs...
Heck can we *please* get the real RPM Fusion running properly before
spending much time to discuss things like this(¹). There is enough to do
for people with spare cycles! Like the package with the mock configs for
test building RPM Fusion packages. I heard about ten request for it, but
nobody started to work on it after I ask here a few weeks ago :-(
(¹) I think even the whole spins stuff came up to early...
For theses needs, the current design of the rpmfusion repositories
doesn't provide a solution yet. [...]
Check the archives. We right from the start agreed that we might do
additional repos where things like those you outline can be done *once*
we have the main repos in place.
