Jima: Can you estimate 'when' it's been discussed before ?

I didn't spend the time to find out where it was from - sorry about that 
- but those two repos are the additional ones I have enabled on my system.

I might even have enabled the wrong fc release with rpmforge repo, I'll 
need to check that out.

Which name fits the guidelines ?  {-data is currently in extras}

This will achieve what I though we would want in fedora;, but would also 
be susceptible to rpmforge releasing a later V or R, and causing a 
change to the rpmforge packages, wouldn't it ?

I don't have time at the moment to scan the archives. Can you remember 
if these seemed like fixable issues while still fitting the fedora 
packaging guidelines ?
