Non-redistributable packages: Skype, spotify, ...

[Alec Leamas]

On the wishlist and/or dead reviews we have some re-distributable 
packages such as skype, spotify and msttcore-fonts. After scratching my 
head over these I've hacked some silly scripts , called them lpf (Local 
package Factory) and made a package of it. It's on it's way into fedora, 
currently in rawhide, f20 and  f19 updates-testing.

Using this package it should be simpler to package a thing like spotify. 
The downloader lpf-spotfy-client is also on it's way into fedora, 
lpf-skype needs a review.  The overall idea here is to have a common 
framework for these packages simplifying for both users and packagers. 
Since they by definition don't contain any upstream stuff they go into 
fedora rather than rpmfusion, although they are on the rpmfusion wishlist.

I don't know if this is a good idea. Time will tell,
