I wonder where all the efforts to have an unified extra repos have
gone.....dissolved with spring??? Freshrpms didn't set a rawhide repo,
livna seems not be updating development for a while
And not having an unified extra repo might cause many desktop users to
migrate elsewhere, especially for multimedia and graphic drivers.
And generally multimedia management has to be improved, I bet if a
newcomer might be happy in setting up his system and how long does it
take to have a system properly working (for multimedia)?
