hi,
it seems to me that rpmfusion not really build el-5 packages. what's the
reason? if why not simple rebuild most if the fedora packages for el-5
too? i can mention such simple packages as gstreamer-plugins-ugly and
gstreamer-plugins-bad?
thanks.

Ideally the maintainer for the EL branch should have an EL machine to
test packages on. If you have such a thing, perhaps you would be
interested in becoming an EL branch maintainer ?
In EL + EPEL + RPM Fusion:
- EL has many old libraries, which can't be upgraded, yet the current
version of packages in Fedora / RPM Fusion don't work.
- We need a person who can be responsible for the package, including
responding to bug reports, and releasing new packages with appropriate
amount of testing.
I encourage you to consider becoming an EPEL/RPM Fusion EL package
maintainer...
Cheers,
David Timms.
