Status of RPM Fusion for EL

Hi all! While getting RPM Fusion in shape for it's official launch a bit of work was done to also get the repos for EL ready. Here is the current status afaics: - I tried to get make to get all the deps for mplayer, xine and vlc and those apps build for EL; that is not yet finished completely, but xine is there now; mplayer and vlc should hopefully be not that hard to achieve once a few details get sorted out (see below) - I'd say we should slowly spread the news that people can start testing the EL repos from RPM Fusion. To enable them use this command: Note: The EL testing repos from RPM Fusion are enabled in those rpms; also not that you need to have EPEL-testing enabled for now, as some packages from rpmfusion-free for EL require packages that are currently in EPEL testing - we need to get libdvdread and libdvdnav into EPEL for a proper working mplayer; Dominik and Rex afaik looked into that, but there are some issues that need to be solved; is there any progress here? - would be nice to get lirc into EPEL, as xine and likely some other apps can use it; pinged j-rod about it yesterday on IRC, no response yet - I lost track what vlc version/spec file is the best to use for EL5; likely the one from F-9 or devel, but I want to talk to kwizwart about it to be sure before moving on - gstreamer-plugins-{bad,ugly} -- lost track here; last mail on that topic iirc was this: http://lists.rpmfusion.org/pipermail/rpmfusion-developers/2008-September/... Hans, do you want to work on that? Is somebody else interested to drive this forward (and coordinate with Hans)? - I haven't worked out a solution for kmods yet; a mix of the current kmod stuff in fedora (including akmods) and the stuff from RHEL itself would be the best, but that will take a while to get in place - there are a whole lot of other packages in RPM Fusion free and nonfree that are not yet built for EL, as I didn't consider them really crucial. You want to know if your packages are in the repos? Then take a look here: http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/el/updates/testing/5/ http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/el/updates/testing/5/ If you miss one of your packages then put a branch request for it in bugzilla or ping me on IRC Also it's IMHO time for those with a special interest in the EL branch (Nikolay, lkundrak, rsc, ???) to step up and look what other packages from the Fedora brach you want to see in the EL branch. Ping their maintainers and ask them for their EL plans; if they don't want to maintain their packages for EL then consider to maintain the package yourself for EL. CU knurd
