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 URL: http://www.example.com Why not in Fedora: Explanation why this package is not eligible as a regular package in the Fedora repositories; packages request without a proper explanation will get removed from this list immediately! Notes: Optional notes section which may be useful for potential packagers
Requests will be removed where an RPM already exists in Fedora or RPM Fusion itself.
Current Requests
Place your current requests here, in alphabetical order.
Request: aacgain Summary: AACGain is a modification to the excellent mp3gain program. It supports AAC (mp4/m4a/QuickTime) audio files. URL: http://altosdesign.com/aacgain/ Why not in Fedora: Same reason mp3gain is not eligible; fear of patents. And it requires packages only available in rpm fusion. Notes: Should be a straight-forward addition
Request: acx100/acx111 Summary: Driver for Texas Instruments wireless device based URL: http://sourceforge.net/projects/acx100/ Why not in Fedora: There are legal questions raised about the origin of that driver.
Request: Aegisub Summary: Subtitling+typesetting application with ASS/SSA support URL: http://www.aegisub.net/ Why not in Fedora: Depands on FFMpeg for video preview Notes: Fedora 10 rpm available but unstable: http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showpost.php?p=1197600&postcount=7
Request: amule adunanza Summary: software to use kad network for fastweb users Url: www.adunanza.net why not in fedora: could be legal problems with p2p software
Request: anyremote-j2me-client Summary: J2ME client for anyRemote (bluetooth remote control for PC) URL: http://anyremote.sourceforge.net/ Why not in Fedora: anyremote-j2me-client uses Sun WTK (which is free, but not open-source) for build. Notes: Review Request at https://bugzilla.rpmfusion.org/show_bug.cgi?id=167
Request: CDemu Summary: a kernel module simulate a CD drive + CD from cue/bin files URL: http://cdemu.sourceforge.net/ Why not in Fedora: Fedora won't ship the kernel modules (RH #177583). Request: cairo (with patches to support cleartype filtering) Summary: A vector graphics library URL: http://cairographics.org Why not in Fedora: Patent issues regarding cleartype filtering Notes: this package should be part of a logical group of other patched packages supporting better subpixel rendering in Fedora, to bring up the font rendering to the level of Ubuntu, Windows XP/Vista and MacOS/X. 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 Summary: One of the best video edition tools around URL: http://cinelerra.org/ Why not in Fedora: Well, this package uses a lot of codecs available in livna/rpmfusion, so, that's why. Notes: Review Request at https://bugzilla.rpmfusion.org/show_bug.cgi?id=118
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: https://messinet.com/svn/rpms/dahdi-linux/trunk/dahdi-linux.spec
Request: Doom Legacy 2.0 Summary: SDL Open GL Doom Source port (WIP refer to the legacy forum or svn directory) URL: http://legacy.newdoom.com Why not in Fedora: Requires a commercial or shareware version of either DOOM, Ultimate DOOM or DOOM2
Request: DXX-Rebirth Summary: This is a Source Port of the Descent and Descent 2 Engines. URL: http://www.dxx-rebirth.com/ Why not in Fedora: Parallax License only allows non-commercial use of the source (http://dxx-rebirth.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/dxx-rebirth/trunk/d1x-rebirth/COPYING.txt?view=markup)
Request: easyMP3Gain Summary: A GUI for mp3Gain, aacGain, and vorbisGain to make gaining audio files just as easy as in windows URL: http://sourceforge.net/projects/easymp3gain Why not in Fedora: mp3Gain isn't in Fedora either, so it's only natural that a GUI for it wouldn't be either. Notes: The project page has an RPM that already installs nicely into F10 and Rawhide. It would also be helpful to include aacGain in RPMFusion for completion.
Request: FASTA Summary: The FASTA programs find regions of local or global (new) similarity between Protein or DNA sequences URL: http://fasta.bioch.virginia.edu/fasta_www2/fasta_down.shtml Why not in Fedora: Was originally on Fedora wishlist, but removed because of non-commercial clause in license: http://faculty.virginia.edu/wrpearson/fasta/COPYRIGHT Notes: removal from Fedora wishlist: https://fedoraproject.org/w/index.php?title=SIGs/SciTech/BioinformaticsWishList&diff=0&oldid=34579
Request: freetype (with patches to support subpixel rendering and bytecode interpreter) Summary: A free and portable font rendering engine URL: http://www.freetype.org Why not in Fedora: Patent issues regarding cleartype filtering and bytecode interpreter Notes: this package should be part of a logical group of other patched packages supporting better subpixel rendering in Fedora, to bring up the font rendering to the level of Ubuntu, Windows XP/Vista and MacOS/X. 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: fontconfig (with updated configuration to make use of available cleartype rendering and bytecode interpreter features) Summary: Font configuration and customization library URL: http://fontconfig.org Why not in Fedora: Because the default packages do not provide these features. Notes: this package should be part of a logical group of other patched packages supporting better subpixel rendering in Fedora, to bring up the font rendering to the level of Ubuntu, Windows XP/Vista and MacOS/X. 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: generator Summary: An open-source Sega Genesis / Megadrive emulator URL: http://www.ghostwhitecrab.com/generator/ Why not in Fedora: Emulators are not permitted in Fedora

Request: gstreamer-pitfdll Summary: GStreamer plugin that allows the use of binary files, such as Quicktime QTX or Directshow/DMO DLL files. URL: http://sourceforge.net/projects/pitfdll/ Why not in Fedora: Probably because of codecs
Request: HandBrake (in progress) Summary: An open-source, GPL-licensed, multiplatform, multithreaded DVD to MPEG-4 converter, available for MacOS X, Linux and Windows. URL: http://handbrake.fr/ Why not in Fedora: Contains implementations of encoders and decoders for patented algorithms (e.g. MP3). Notes: This comes in both a CLI and GUI version, which would both be useful. Also, it requires libdvdcss to read DVDs directly. The default makefile downloads all it's own copies of all the multimedia libs, the challenging part here to get it to use the existing rpmfusion libraries as dependencies instead.
Request: icc-profiles Summary: Icc color profiles from Adobe to use with scribus, gimp, cinepaint. URL: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/iccprofiles/iccprofiles_linux.html Why not in Fedora: Non-free packages not allowed in Fedora.

These packages are: cairo, freetype, fontconfig, libXft (and maybe pixman, this should be checked).

Request: ManDVD Summary: KDE based DVD creation program. URL: http://www.kde-apps.org/content/show.php/ManDVD?content=83906 Why not in Fedora: It depends on packages already in RPM Fusion (FFmpeg, mplayer, transcode, etc)
Request: moonlight Summary: Free implementation of Microsoft' Silverlight URL: http://www.mono-project.com/Moonlight Why not in Fedora: On the forbidden list due to patent concerns Notes: Review Request at https://bugzilla.rpmfusion.org/show_bug.cgi?id=436
Request: Mupen64 Summary: Nintendo 64 emulator URL: http://mupen64.emulation64.com/ Why not in Fedora: Emulators are not permitted in Fedora Notes: This one was at Dribble but it is not in RPM Fusion.

Request: netperf Summary: Network performance/benchmarking with the ability to benchmark many different protocols URL: http://www.netperf.org/netperf/NetperfPage.html Why not in Fedora: Does not appear to be a compatible license, COPYING file states it's owned by HP, but the code appears to be FOSS. Notes: No special requirements or dependencies that I know of.
Request: Nvidia CUDA Summary: Nvidia's CUDA technology enables the GPU to be used for various complex scientific computations. URL: http://www.nvidia.com/object/cuda_get.html Why not in Fedora: Free but not open-source Notes: Review Request at https://bugzilla.rpmfusion.org/show_bug.cgi?id=459

URL: http://smplayer.sourceforge.net/downloads.php?tr_lang=en Why not in Fedora: requires packages only available in rpmfusion, is very cool and easy to build and packing Notes: I got a .spec, here http://sergiomb.no-ip.org/specs/smplayer-themes.spec, which builds smplayer-themes-0.1.19.tar.bz2 into rpms. Answer: There are many mixed licenses in the "free" package, eg. GPL, LGPL, Creative Commons Attribution Share-Alike license, Creative Commons Attribution 2.5 License. Someone with proper understanding of mixing licenses needs to look deeper into this (SebastianVahl - smplayer maintainer).

Using Snack you can create powerful multi-platform audio applications with just a few lines of code.

Even if users manage to get those drivers manually running, they need to build the module when kernel updates arrive through updates.
Request: VIA Chrome9/UniChrome proprietary 3D Xorg driver. Summary: provide Xorg 3D driver for VIA Chrome9/UniChrome URL: http://linux.via.com.tw/support/downloadFiles.action, choose CN896, Ubuntu 8.10, link: Unified GFX driver Ver 85a-44597 Why not in Fedora: restricted driver Notes: Although only available for Ubuntu 8.10, they also work for Fedora. Confirmed for HP 2133, see http://hp2133.umsw.de, section 11b. Issues with SELinux, also with OpenGL and RandR (both only when using compiz). 2D driver works better with RandR but is known to cause system freezes. Options/switches for xorg.conf not well documented. 3D driver needs VIA Chrome9 drm module, 2D may run without it, thus poor performance playing videos etc.
Request: Veejay Summary: visual instrument and realtime video sampler URL: http://www.veejayhq.net/ Why not in Fedora: The engine is based upon ffmpeg and the mjpegtools

Request: xsnow Summary: Xsnow is the X-windows application that will let it snow on the root, in between and on windows. Santa and his reindeer will complete your festive-season feeling. URL: http://dropmix.xs4all.nl/rick/Xsnow/ Why not in Fedora: Unclear license, probably shareware-like. Freely distributable, but not Free Software Notes: A specfile for fedora available at http://users.linpro.no/ingvar/xsnow.spec
Request: zaptel-kmod (In progress - Seeking sponsor to add WillTatam as a contributor) Summary: zaptel kernel module for telephony cards URL: http://www.asterisk.org/ Why not in Fedora: Fedora won't ship the kernel modules (RH #177583).

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.
