But there's a bad news to it also. Instead of saying EFLs, I should
now say some EFLs. :-(

emotion BuildRequires /usr/bin/xine-config which is provided in FC by
the package xine-lib-devel. Well this xine-lib-devel or xine-lib or
associated package libfame is NOT and will NOT get into either Fedora
Core CDs or FC extras repository due to legal/patent issues.

It means that apps that depend on emotion or BuildRequires:
emotion-devel will not make it to FC extras and still has to stay in a
3rd party repository.

So stuff like

eclair.spec
emotion.spec
engage.spec
e_utils.spec
ewl.spec
examine.spec

will not make it to FC extras unless BuildRequires: emotion-devel
becomes optional. But so far when i removed the emotion-devel Build
Requirement, the above packages (bar emotion of course) failed to
compile.
