Okay, after working on RPM Fusion push scripts and some other things 
around it I can give a quick status update before leaving the keyboard 
for now. Initial, rough test repos for free and nonfree are up; you can 
browse them at:

http://193.28.235.60/free/fedora/updates/testing/9/i386/
http://193.28.235.60/nonfree/fedora/updates/testing/9/i386/

The free repo contains only libmms; the nonfree only sdlmame

@dribble guys -- we afaics should soon be able to use this repo to 
distribute dribble updates. But I'm the only one right now that has 
access to queue builds :-/ So if you want something build from CVS just 
import is to CVS and tag it -- then tell me the package name and the tag 
(preferred) or release to build. Note: we are building for ppc64 -- some 
packages will fail on that arch and need to be fixed or ExcludArch'ed

Next things on my todo list

- get the IP of the box (it's the same one that serves Livna; kindly 
provided and maintained by Pix) into DNS as download1.rpmfusion.org or 
download2.rpmfusion.org

- create/import/publish a rpmfusion-release.rpm -- firewing1 iirc 
created one already iirc

- talk to Xavier about making the plague-server box plague aware; this 
is the first step to make plague available for everyone

- in parallel: build and publish as much dribble packages as possible; 
after that slowly start building livna packages as well

- discuss what to do with kernel modules.
	We never discussed if we want to do what livna does (kmods and akmods 
-- e.g. the user can chose if he wants pre-compiled or dynamically 
compiling modules) or what freshrpms does (dkms -- only dynamically, 
which is something Asus Eee-PCs users afaik don't like to much).

P.S.: *Don't* announce this repos to widely yet please. There is still a 
ton of work that needs to be done; and a lot of stuff that can break on 
that way. I'm aslo sure there are some errors, so some things (path?) 
still might need to be adjusted...
