Handbrake possible new package

[gatlin sullivan]

Handbrake (http://handbrake.fr/) is a utility to process and encode video (and 
audio). It is supported for the new version of Gnome. It actively develops for 
the GNU/Linux platform. A semi-nightly rpm release is made 
(https://build.handbrake.fr/). There is a spec file listed in its source code 
(http://trac.handbrake.fr/browser/trunk/gtk/ghb.spec). All of the source can be 
found on its web-site (http://trac.handbrake.fr/browser). Detailed build 
instruction (though slightly outdated) can be found documenting building, 
specifically on GNU/Linux, for Fedora and Ubuntu 
(http://trac.handbrake.fr/browser/trunk/doc/BUILD-Linux). It is licensed as GNU 
GPL version 2 (http://trac.handbrake.fr/browser/trunk/COPYING).

If I attempt to package this after its 9.5 release - which should be relatively 
soon and imminent - will it meet the requirements of Rpmfusion. I do know that 
since it depends on certain things that are unpackageable for Fedora's 
repositories that it will not be acceptable there. I, with rpmfusion 
repositories installed plus libdvdcss, am able to install the semi-nightly 
builds and use them. Thus, I believe that all of the 
license inappropriate dependencies for Fedora must have been met by Rpmfusion. I 
believe that packaging this and putting into Rpmfusion would be a great addition 
to Fedora. I believe that most Fedora desktop users use Rpmfusion, so this as an 
addition to Rpmfusion will really expand the presence of Handbrake for Fedora 
user's to acquaint themselves.
