Guess what: it's not free -- packaging it/adding it to the existing 
packages can easily sum up to and hour or two of work (sometimes even 
more if you want to do them properly; see 
https://bugzilla.rpmfusion.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13 for example). Which 
brings me to the point I outlined earlier: "nearly nobody wants to do 
the boring things or things that are only useful for other people"

Even worse: Seems the latest livna-release you get from 
http://rpm.livna.org/ these days also dropped support for smart and apt; 
I guess the livna people will readd it if somebody sends tested patches.

Wanna help? The wiki afaics really needs a lot of improvements. But each 
day only has 24 hours and I right now put other things higher on my todo 
list.

Without a login we'll get a target for spammers -- the livna wiki proved 
that :-/

I see a small window in the upper right of the page that offers to 
create an account or to log in. Isn't that showing up for you?
