I not only have a cinnamon environment working on my local box, but I've also created a set of packages that pull in all of the latest cinnamon themes, applets, and desklets. 2) Games: I'm tracking development for raceintospace, golly and leocad. I've also got a local package of freeorion. 3) Astronomy/Visualization: I've created packages for the top astronomy programs on sourceforge. These have either eye candy or are professional tools or both. The things that I've packaged are virtualmoonatlas, aladin, ds9 and a ton of astronomy related python scripts. I've also worked on a drop in replacement for pgplot based on plplot and a Pypi - rpm script. I also have a local package of elmerfem working. I was going to work on paraview, and there are some install issues, and I'd like to work on ds9 first. I also have mesa working so if anyone wants to simulate a star, let me know. The problem with mesa is that theorists work mainly with source, so I've been trying to figure out the best way of packaging mesa to allow for tweaking. 4) opengl for ATI: I was working a while ago trying to get the open source GPU/glamor drivers working on the newest AMD card, but that doesn't seem that useful since AMD doesn't seem interesting in this. There are some bits and pieces in my dev box that might be useful if someone else is working on this. I'm also interested in taking requests. If there is some game or astronomy related package that you'd like to get packaged let me know. Hi Joseph, Thanks for your work! May I suggest you look at the new package requests on bugzilla? https://bugs.mageia.org/buglist.cgi?cmdtype=doremremaction=runnamedcmd=new%20package%20requestsharer_id=1 There are almost 500 of them :-).

The cinnamon conflict with gnome has been fixed in the packages I have. There is a patch that fixes the problem that I've sent upstream, and I can package it locally with the patch. As far as the other packages peazip - I'm looking at getting that packaged. It's pascal code, but it open source pascal code that doesn't look too bad. energytycoon - working on that openra - the problem with openra is that it seems to require closed source data files. That doesn't keep us from putting it into tainted, but it does put it on much lower priority. lgeneral also has that problem I've looked over the package requests.

You can run urpmq only once with all the args but as the packages are
installed, I would just use rpmquery
urpmi $(rpmquery --qf %{SOURCERPM}\n $@ | sed 's/-[^-]*-[^-]*$/-debuginfo/')
That should make things faster :)
