I am neither a programmer, or a package manager. I 'm just an ordinary Fedora 
user. I've been using Fedora since Fedora Core 1, and awesfx was available 
then, and I was, and still am gratefull for being able to use this program to 
load soundfonts.

If the Ubuntu packagers for Ubuntu Intrepid Ibex 8.10, still have awesfx 
available on their repo's, what exactly is the problem with Fedora doing the 
same?
