XBMC for Fedora

Hi!

Several people have contributed to this subject in the past: XBMC for 
fedora. So far however XBMC isn't available in rpmfusion or fedora 
repositories. Is there a specific reason (like licensing) for this?

Anyhow, given the fact that there isn't an XBMC RPM in one of the 
mentioned repositories, I built it myself based on an RPM by Scott 
Harvanek. It's here: http://rolffokkens.dyndns.org/

It's running very stable on mij x86_64 Fedora 11 system, both music and 
video's run smoothly. Somehow however I can't play physical media like 
DVD's and CD's, as XBMC doesn't seem te be aware of them. Could be a 
libcdio-0.18 related problem.

Cheers!

Rolf

P.S. I'm using Thunderbird, and don't know how to suppress the HTML 
formatting. I appologize.
