(1) I expect now patches from you to make a workable audacious based on our audacious package. Apparently you have the interest and the time to do it ? (2) No, they are not compatible, we know. Share to help with this too ? You first have to convince the Fedora people that they will not introduce new incompatibilities before starting. I'd right merge, but also that is not happening as there is no interest. So what is the solution ? Shall I simply stop doing RPMforge ? Is that the position you prefer to force me into ? Because I certainly did not force you into using the repository. I don't know even why you want to use RPMforge, there must be something that is missing from EPEL ? I am happy to learn what you want to do though, because it is easy to criticize, but it takes time to do some work. (And I hope the solution is not another repository, because we have been there :-)) -- -- dag wieers, dag at wieers.com, http://dag.wieers.com/ -- [Any errors in spelling, tact or fact are transmission errors]
