>From memory, I thought someone had begun this, and indeed, the review request is closed: https://bugzilla.rpmfusion.org/show_bug.cgi?id=679 see also: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.redhat.fedora.rpmfusion.devel/6397 One thing to note is that rpmfusion parallels fedora guidelines except for allowing certain specific things. Hence this means no internal libraries used, where there is already a system library. This might be a certain amount of work to ensure removal of internal libraries, and use of the fedora/rpmfusion packaged ones. [Updated libraries Besides x264, updated libraries include libsamplerate, libogg, xvidcore, libmpeg2, lame, faac, and ffmpeg's libavcodec, libavformat, and libswscale] So, if you have something, put it up for review.
