If we cannot get a hold of Matthias, we could just start with a mirrorlist like
livna is using right?
Yeah, we could, but I'd much prefer to use the mini-mirrormanager --
then we don't have to touch the config files again, which is important
for those people that don't do .rpmnew-files cleanups on their systems

Same here if we cannot get hold of Matthias we should just move forward with kmods
I have thought of it, but I'd prefer not to do that as kernel-module
packaging is such a delicate task...

I wish I could help here, but I'm going to the Linux Plumbers conference in 2
days, so I'm afraid I'm out of the running for this round.
Np. And hope you have some fun the conference.

I checked and with my set of livna packages, mpg321 is the only one which has a
broken upgrade path. the evr's are the same so the .lvn9 wins from rpmfusions .fc10
Bumped and queued. VLC in devel as well.

Erm, yes good point.
I'd consider to actually delete that page, as the contents might be more
confusing than helpful -- we can still grab the current version from the
wiki history if we need the data.

Send out an announcement once we're live and organise a party, or maybe
multiple parties (one per country) ?
I had thought about mentioning the announcement mail, but chose not to
-- I didn't want to distract people from the things that are more
important for now ;-)
