I admit I'm not too familiar with BLAG or Jeff Moe, and I didn't say anything as a fact just as my personal observation. I was on BLAG forums and I don't see almost anything happening there, and that they don't have dates on their posts doesn't help also :( I'll keep an eye on BLAG a bit more. Does anybody know why aren't they making their packages available for livna or RPM Fusion?
