free is not good enough. Is Acrobat in the distro? Find out if it is an 
OSI- or FSF-approved license, otherwise you will have to settle for PLF.

Since it depends on festival (I assume), it depends on festival ;-).

Why don't you look? You can find all the contribs in the cooker ftp 
mirrors, which I am sure you can find. You may also find the packaging 
stuff at http://www.linux-mandrake.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/contrib-SPECS, 
although be warned that some of the packaging there is for packages no 
longer in contrib (either in main or disappeared).

Btw, have you tried any of these yourself? I don't see why people 
working on the software which many many many people use should spend 
time working on software which may not be of any use. You will find 
people much more willing to package software if you can give hints on 
how good it is, how easy it is to package, what it depends on etc.

Of course, then you are half way to making an RPM anyway, so why not 
make an SRPM and have it put in contrib.

No criticism, just an obervation on how best you can get what you want, 
as I am quite sure you don't want a distro with many non-working or 
beta-quality games and utilities, but no stable desktop or configuration 
tools.

Ok.
I request RPMS because I have never do one and I haven't many time to this 
(I'm working on TV-out support and OSD library).
I'll try to do one.
