Quite a few of us would like to see software we do personally use pushed to Extras.
Hi, I haven't been following this discussion, but I'd like to say that I don't want to see software I use pushed to extras due to the fact that Extras is not sync-ed to Rawhide. I am a rawhide beta tester, and extras is a pain for me to use. Do you know what kind of hackery is required to get the Nvidia driver from livna properly installed on a rawhide system? That's because Livna, like extras, is not sync-ed to rawhide.
Would you mind sharing exactly what you had to do? Or perhaps open a bug on bugzilla.livna.org.
FYI: There are some updates suggested for the Livna webpage in livna.org Bug 350; They explain a bit more how to install the nvidia/ati drivers from livna and also describe how to rebuild the kernel-module for a different kernel (e.g. rawhide) using the SRPM from livna.
