Yeah, not only that, I got deps to mostly be right(assetml-*) stuff neets to 
be installed manually.
You can find them here http://yum.bravegnuworld.com/yum/ (undergoing changes 
for apt support and attempted compliance with 
http://www.fedora.us/wiki/PackageSubmissionQAPolicy
I'm not using ALSA, but I wrote a front-end script that guesses if you are 
running GNOME or KDE and tries to use the apropriate sound system. GCompris 
is one that I would like to see mainlined into the Fedora Core. it's got a 
lot of neat stuff in it. Tux of math command would be cool as well

I looked here.  http://www.fedora.us/wiki/RPMMacros it's not listed for 
Fedora, Mandrake or PLD. I'm using it as a place to distribute pkgs for fc1 
and rh9, ideally they will get included into larger repos though, and that's 
just a testing ground for latest and greatest
