Hi! Just FYI, seems some people would like to have apt and smart support for RPM Fusion and Livna; see this mail (and the replies to it): https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-list/2008-December/msg02807.html Smart support for RPM Fusion is in the works https://bugzilla.rpmfusion.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13 Support for apt isn't afaics. Does anybody want to work on this? BTW, I guess the livna developers will also be gladly accept patches that enhance the current livna-release rpm from http://rpm.livna.org/ to support support apt or smart (SRPM can be found here: http://rpm.livna.org/repo/8/SRPMS/livna-release-1-1.src.rpm); the old release rpms did support smart and apt iirc, but I they ignored the directory ownership problem.

and it would be nice to have apt support for accessing the rpmfusion repo's.
