Greetings Fernando! Being a big fan of PlanetCCRMA, I would be happy
to be a part of this integration. There are many packages that can be
moved to Fedora and there are some packages that would lose
functionality if they are moved. As an example, qtractor can be
compiled against libmad which we don't have at Fedora because of legal
issues. Having an MP3 decoding capability is significant and I
(personally) don't want to lose this capability.

I am also an RPMFusion contributor. One of our goals at RPMFusion is
to merge as many repositories together (hence the name "fusion") to
minimize the inter-repository incompatibilities. I would be glad to
assist you if you decide to move those patent/license encumbered
packages to RPMFusion in the future.

As for the wishlist, could you add them to the Wishlist in the wiki
page (I gave the link above) if you have access? I don't know about
all the packages at PlanetCCRMA (there are a lot :) ) and having a
wishlist with brief summaries for each entry will hopefully catch more
attention from our SIG members. If you don't have wiki access, you can
send your list to me and I will add them to the wiki.

Cheers,
Orcan
