Wouldn't it be better to include these music apps in a main repository? In Fedora, the multitude of repositories for downloading packages has caused nightmares of "dependency hell" when users install from two or more repos that carry some of the same package. The most user-friendly solution is one location that holds all the apps a user could want, one place for them to look, one place to maintain. Branching repositories should be avoided as much as possible. Submitting packages to OE is like contributing upstream. It makes the most out of your contribution. -- Type faster.
