Request: winetricks Summary: A package and settings manager for Wine URL: http://code.google.com/p/winetricks/ Why not in Fedora: winetricks is typically used to install proprietary native code. Also, handling of bugs upstream (WineHQ) can be complicated if winetricks is installed. Notes: Read http://wiki.winehq.org/winetricks and http://code.google.com/p/winetricks/wiki/Installing for some info. Dependencies: "wine cabextract unzip p7zip wget zenity" and of course maybe others. That list is called out in the script itself. ALSO note, there is a man page in the winetricks source repository.

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 also note that these packages have not undergone license reviews. It is possible that a package in this list might have strict license restrictions that disallow the sort of redistribution that RPM Fusion would entail.
Please edit this page to add a new request ensuring the layout is maintained. For example:
Request: foo Summary: What does this program do ? What features ? URL: http://www.exemple.org Why not in Fedora : Notes: Thx
Requests will be removed where an RPM already exists in Fedora or RPM Fusion itself.
Current Requests

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. F14 src rpm at http://rpm.globe-nl.net/fedora/release/14/source/SRPMS/aacgain-1.8-1.fc14.src.rpm can be built (rpmbuild) and installed without issues on F20. It appears to work without problems. Update: on http://aacgain.altosdesign.com/ , at end of the page, we can read "source code for AACGain is hosted in the sourceforge cvs repository as part of the mp3gain project, in the aacgain module http://mp3gain.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/mp3gain/aacgain/. " so maybe could be part of mp3gain ...

Request: Bitwig Studio Summary: Bitwig Studio is a dynamic software solution for music creation and performance. URL: http://www.bitwig.com Why not in Fedora : Fedora does not support proprietary software. Notes: RPM packages available on https://mega.co.nz/#F!AIYzXT6R!u_XfolVkr7Nv1A_ZyrqvMw. It´s easier for users to set up a repo to stay up to date, than searching for a package on the web/forum etc. which is up to date.
Request: baloo-libs-freeworld Summary: The KDE4 new indexing system URL: http://www.kde.org Why not in Fedora: Baloo can be linked against FFMPEG, and, if built that way, can index more information about audio and video files. FFMPEG is patent encumbered, and so the Baloo copy in Fedora has FFMPEG integration disabled.
Request: bomi-player Summary:bomi-player (formerly known as CMPlayer) is a multimedia player which is convenient and easy to use.

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: Catalyst (fglrx) Driver Summary: AMD's Linux driver for Radeon HD 2000/3000/4000 series hardware.

Notes: Not certain that AMD will continue to give support for this legacy driver in future.
Request: cinelerra-cv Summary: One of the best video edition tools around URL: http://cinelerra-cv.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 We at cinelerra-cv.org have no control/influence over cinelerra.org and viceversa. cinelerra-cv.org is a open community (CV: Community Version), rather than a close group.
Request: clamdrib Summary: Adds clamav checking to Thunderbird URL: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/6663 Why not in Fedora: No method to contact original developer, no updates since March 2008.

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. The RPMFusion compatible spec files that I use currently are here: http://messinet.com/rpms/browser/dahdi-linux/dahdi-linux.spec http://messinet.com/rpms/browser/dahdi-linux-kmod/dahdi-linux-kmod.spec

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: 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).

URL: http://www.opalvoip.org/ Why not in Fedora: It is available in fedora but with disabled support for x264 and ffmpeg, thus lacking H.264 and all other MPEG-based video conferencing abilities. This results in ekiga being very limited with the codecs offered for use to the end-user. Notes: I've got self-modified .spec file for opal-3.6.8-1 based on the one from Fedora 12 and expected to be built against older version of x264 that was available as a package from ATrpms. There were reported problems with opal linking against latest versions of x264, but now (as of 2011/07/05) it seems that there are patches available at ekiga's bugzilla (https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=596006#c24) that solve the case. ATM I'm in process of patching opal spec file using SRPMS from Fedora 15 as a base, and intend to use x264-devel package from RPMFusion as a dependency. Goind to post the spec for review request as soon as would done with it.
