This is a simple task that anyone can take. (convert and create

I just took a look at this, since it sounded like something I might be able to do. fedpkg-minimal is pretty straightforward: https://git.fedorahosted.org/cgit/fedpkg-minimal.git/tree/bin/fedpkg

Unfortunately, an RPM Fusion equivalent will need to know whether or not the package in question is in free/ or in nonfree/, because of the dist-git namespacing. e.g. the curl line should become "$baseurl/free/$pkgname/$tarball/$md5sum/$tarball" or "$baseurl/nonfree/$pkgname/$tarball/$md5sum/$tarball". Assuming I'm not missing something obvious, I can think of three ways to deal with this:

a. Provide rfpkg-free and rfpkg-nonfree scripts, one for each namespace.

b. Attempt to download both and ignore failures (curl ... || true?), then check to see if the file exists before proceeding.

c. Somehow determine whether a package is in free/ or nonfree/ at runtime. This would be the optimal solution but I'm not sure if there's a good way to do it. Perhaps checking .git/config for a configured remote with URL containing "free" or "nonfree"?

Thoughts?

I ended up implementing (c) *and* (b); rfpkg-minimal attempts to read .git/config and then just tries to download from both if it is not there. I forked the fedpkg-minimal git repo and pushed to github here: https://github.com/TC01/rfpkg-minimal

If this looks good, I'm happy to throw together a spec and submit a package for review.
