Hi,
rpm.livna.org is throwing 403 errors for all accesses today. Add to that
that the mirrors have all been stale for eons (they don't have any directory
newer than 14) and you get an entirely broken repo.

Yup... I pretty much gave up on it and since I keep my own local
repository anyway I just rebuild libdvdcss when I need it (new Fedora
releases)

Would it be acceptable if we kept the .spec file in RPM Fusion's CVS,
but didn't host the actual tarball?

I think we should just move the package to RPM Fusion Free and put Livna out
of its misery. I don't see any actual legal action initiated against that
package, so I don't think continuing to refuse carrying it is justified.

package, so I don't think continuing to refuse carrying it is justified.
The main reason why we didn't include it back then iirc was this (and
note, it's a "long story short" description!):
Some (two iirc) of the main contributors in the days before the merge
mentioned they would not join RPM Fusion if it ships the package livna
still provides these days. Some others (mainly those working for a big
distributor) also mentioned it could be problematic for them.
So it was a trade off between "have the package in question in the
repos" and "have more contributors" back then. The later was important
for the start of the project -- but these days it might be different,
especially as those two I remember are not main contributors anymore.
So even when Livna gets back shipping packages for f17, rhel6, ... it
might be worth discussing the issue again, as I mentioned a few months
ago already. Best way forward imho is someone sending a question like
"would you stop contributing to RPM Fusion if said package gets
included" to all contributors and then decide considering the answers
and all the other available information.

Maybe we could take a vote? Would the -devel list be appropriate?
Here's some strawman options:
Option A: Put libdvdcss into rpmfusion-free.
Most convenient option for users. Some RPM Fusion devs or mirror
operators might object.
Option B: Create a parallel rpmfusion-libdvdcss repository, that would
be similar to our -free and -nonfree repos.
This gives mirror operators the flexibility to exclude this
repository if they are not comfortable hosting the RPMs.
Option C: Put a libdvdcss spec into the rpmfusion-free CVS, but don't build it.
The advantage here is that users at least can access the spec file
if livna goes down again.
Option D: Do nothing.

Livna already had remi package.
http://pkgs.org/download/libdvdcss
on Fedora 17 label
So we can switch to remi repo and install remi-release
http://rpms.famillecollet.com/fedora/17/remi/x86_64/remi-release-17-6.fc1...
btw , it is updated to 1.2.12

I'm not too keen on the idea. Remi's repo is very intrusive (it replaces
a number of packages that ship in Fedora proper).

Update:
rpm.livna.org is throwing 403 errors for all accesses today. Add to
that
that the mirrors have all been stale for eons (they don't have any
directory newer than 14) and you get an entirely broken repo.
Now rpm.livna.org is back up, but with the same ancient content the mirrors
had been carrying (nothing newer than F14).

rpm.livna.org is now back up and with up-to-date contents again.
