Is there any interested in a coordination for a small repository of nosrc.rpm's for non-free software? I'm thinking about things like the Lucida fonts for LaTeX (see http://www.tug.org/lucida ) and Mathematica and maybe a better packaging of Acrobat Reader etc. My idea would be nosrc.rpm repository and a howto page on how to build a useable rpm from a nosrc.rpm and a tarball containing the software. Primarily what would be needed is people familiar with rpm willing to write spec files (I imagine it will be a small repository, as most *nix software is better suited for extras/livna/etc.), a place to host them, someone who can keep the repo info up to date (idea is to use yum utilities to create package information based upon the headers in the nosrc.rpm) - and a howto page unstructing how to use the nosrc.rpm's (which ideally would go in a wiki - maybe fedorafaq.org ??) My intention is strictly for a nosrc.rpm repository - no pre-built packages. The purpose is to allow quality packaging for commercial software through community effort to reduce replication of work needed by individuals and companies wishing to employ the software. Java related nosrc.rpm's involving freely download-able but not distributable packages are not desired, as they should go into jpackage's nosrc.rpm stuff
