Package Requests

Use this page to post a request for a packages that can't go to Fedora but would be nice to have in the RPM Fusion repository. For update requests or package enhancements use bugzilla please.

/!\ Important Note: Package request that don't give a good reason why the package cannot go to Fedora will get removed from this list immediately without further notice; if you are unsure if a package is suitable for Fedora then submit it to Fedora Wishlist; alternatively ask Fedora or RPM Fusion contributors for advice!

Note, there is no guarantee that package will be built, but it serves as a basis for maintainers looking for ideas on what to package next. But that doesn't happen very often, as you can guess from the length of this list. The best way to get a package into RPM Fusion quickly is to join RPM Fusion and maintaining the package yourself.

Please edit this page to add a new request ensuring the layout is maintained. For example: 

  Request: foo
  Summary: A program that does all sorts of foo

These packages are: cairo, freetype, fontconfig, libXft (and maybe pixman, this should be checked). Source packages already exist with patches supporting these features for all the above packages at: ftp://brebs.me.uk/fedora/10/. Further info: http://forums.fedoraforum.org/archive/index.php/t-186789.html

  Request: cinelerra

  Request: dahdi-linux
  Summary: Digium Asterisk Hardware Device Interface (DAHDI) linux kernel modules, firmware and documentation
  Why not in Fedora: While Fedora does package dahdi-tools, dahdi-linux contains kernel modules (and firmware)
  that are not part of the main kernel tree, and are not included in Fedora. Note that there is no need to package
  dahdi-tools as this would be redundant. A spec file that I use currently is here:

  Why not in Fedora: The engine is based upon ffmpeg and the mjpegtools

  Request: vdr-softdevice (ShmClient)

  URL: http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2_allversions.html
  Why not in RPM Fusion: It is not re-distributable. See http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/distribute.html

  Request: libdvdcss
  Summary: A library for accessing and unscrambling DVDs encrypted with the Content Scramble System (CSS)
  URL: http://www.videolan.org/developers/libdvdcss.html
  Why not in RPM Fusion: The short story is: It was agreed on not to ship it due to various reasons around the fact that libdvdcss is a bit more complicated (or dangerous) than all the other software RPM Fusion offers have. The long story and all the arguments for and against shipping it can be found in the mailing lists archives.

 Livna and Freshrpms will provide libdvdcss for the forseeable future.
