I'm willing to help where I can. The direct problems at hand: The only x86 builder that is left has no local CentOS/RHEL mirror; the admin of this machine might be able to create one in the local net on the machine where other repos are mirrored. Then all what is needed is creating a few config files, which can be done in ~15 minutes or so. I can do that, but as I indicated already: I'd say it's the job of our infra group and would prefer to hear from them first before I once again step on their toes and do their work (which I often did in the past and which might be more harmful then helpful; don't know) Some of the overall RPM Fusion problem we are facing in this area: * where did the other x86 builders we had go? Seems they simply got lost over time * you and others iirc applied to help with infra work earlier; why haven't you got access and/or instructions? * seems there is not much interest in the el5 repo; some packages were build, but nobody really cared and for a lot of people it seems the el5 branch was "fire once and forget" (part of the problem: ownership/responsibilities were not clearly solved and owners.list for el is wrong in some places); that's one of the reasons why I left all the packages in testing CU knurd
