Yes, I fully agree now.... ;-)

Hm, I think I disagree with this statement. IMHO the packages in Fedora should
follow these rules:

- the requirements of a package should include all prerequisites which are
necessary to use the package (this includes e.g. the native libraries which are
used by the late binding in C#) - if a package would not be usable without
another one, it must be included in the requirements

- a Fedora package must be installable on a Fedora-only system

Given these two rules, there would be only the one solution to exclude these
bindings which need native libs from rpmfusion completely and - if needed -
package them in rpmfusion. I know, this would somehow "split" the taoframework
package - but IMHO this would be the best solution.

Do you think this would be a reasonable way?

Otherwise the package looks good.
