Now, I always thought that RPMforge wouldn't have the resources to start making the repositories compatible, but apparently the Fedora projecy is simply not even interested in doing this.
Dag, we had a lengthy thread on the rpmforge list not long ago to debunk this, and I was under the impression you were ammendable to working together. Has something changed?
Rex,
I don't see any effort from the Fedora side to do anything about this. It is not just about updating libdvdread in a orchestrated fashion, if the end goal is not to merge and provide an upgrade path, then it's a waste of time IMO.
At LinuxTag 2009 Thorsten Leemhuis basicly said that Fedora has too many rules to make it feasible.
But I am open to discuss anything as long as people can migrate to it. I do fear that the interest in the EPEL project is very centered to the latest RHEL only though, but even that can be fixed.
