So in order to get dribble's packages into rpmfusion cvs / look a side, someone would need to go to: http://dribble.org.uk/listrpms4.html Create cvs modules for all srpms listed there and then use cvs-import on the srpms linked from there to populate the cvs modules. Owners for the modules can be found here: http://rpmfusion.org/InitialPackageMerge But I guess all owners first need to have a FAS account, so maybe now would be a good moment to send a mail to the list asking everyone to create a FAS account? Hmm, I just realized that creating cvs modules isn't that easy because we first need to decide on a package for package base wether it goes to non-free or free. So what are the rules for free? I would like to suggest the following: "free: anything of which all components are under a license which is listed as good on: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Licensing Notice that free fully follows this webpage except that chapter 6 "Software Types" is ignored. Notice that anything depending upon anything in non-free must be in non-free itself." Can everyone live with this? If we can agree this is the rule for the non-free free split, then I can make a list of which packages in dribble should go where.
