Alphonse,

After some discussion about Xgl and why we are working to make it usable, it
seems the best place for Xgl is going to be a 3rd party repo. Really, the best
solution for providing the features that Xgl provides is aiglx. I understand the
reasoning behind why Xgl is still currently needed. Please comment on moving
things to Livna (my choice would be at least) and closing this bug.

Advantages to Livna:

1) No resistance to this package from within the Fedora dev world
2) No bugs on the fedora bugzilla, so no additional overhead for the Fedora devs
3) Ability to use livna-config-display vs yet another package
4) Existing trusted 3rd party repo that is enabled on a lot of systems
5) Existing infrastructure to support collaborative maintenance of the package
6) Livna already packages fglrx

Disadvantages:

1) It's Xgl, we want a good solution... such as aiglx
2) It does not get the "Fedora" stamp, which might end up being more good then bad
3) Less of a mirror infrastructure, but really... not that big of a deal

I've maybe missed some +- stuff, but I do think we should move this to livna.
